MPD reported a shooting yesterday in the 1100 block of Oates Street NE in Trinidad. Around 1:30 pm yesterday MPD units responding to a report of shooting found an injured victim in an alley, and the wounded man later died. There's chatter on a neighborhood group that it was a robbery of a construction crew gone wrong, but I haven't seen any independent confirmation of this yet.
The incident is under investigation by MPD's Violent Crimes Branch. If you have any information related to the shooting you can contact police at (202) 698-0150.
The text alert, which went out at 2:07 pm, appears below:

I'm really disappointed that I haven't heard a thing about this on the news. I just did a Google search for information about it (I only learned it happened from my neighbors), and all I found was your blog post. How is it that a person is shot and killed in the middle of the day, and the local news is covering a panda turning 2 and how hard it is to be named Robert E. Lee these days (btw - R.E.L.s of the world - cry me a river)????
Anyway, thank for your reporting...
