Three men were injured and another man died in a shooting Friday evening in the Trinidad neighborhood of Northeast D.C.

D.C. police said the call for the shooting came in around 10 p.m.

It happened inside a building near the 1200 block of Raum Street NE. One man was found inside the building, another outside. Two of the three injured men later transported themselves to local hospitals.

The three men currently have non-life-threatening injuries.

In a press conference, Fifth District Commander Sylvan Altieri confirmed a fourth man died after succumbing to his injuries from the shooting.

“This is very preliminary. I will say this: the people who did this have no respect for human life,” he said. “The violence that’s being committed by people — for nothing — it’s got to stop.”
