The 15-year-old was arrested after shooting and killing 54-year-old Dale Henson — who WJLA says was picking up Chinese food for family — before 9 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 17, in the 5000 block of Benning Road, Southeast, according to Metropolitan police.
Police arrived on scene to find Henson well as the teen and one man, reportedly all suffering from gunshot wounds.
According to NBC10, Henson was getting food for her niece, who had recently lost her boyfriend to gun violence.
Henson was pronounced dead at the scene and the teen and male victim were taken to a hospital for treatment.
This case remains under investigation. Anyone who has knowledge of this incident should take no action but call police at (202) 727-9099 or text your tip to the Department's TEXT TIP LINE at 50411.
