Largo resident Aubrey McLeod, 29, has been identified by investigators as the person killed by shooters in an incident that left five others - including two children - hospitalized, officials say.
Officers were called at around 6:10 p.m. on Wednesday night to the 1100 block of 21st Street NE, where they found three men, one woman and a 9-year-old boy suffering from gunshot wounds.
According to MPD Chief Pamela Smith, officers rendered aid at the scene, though McLeod was pronounced dead by first responders. The other four victims were taken by paramedics to area hospitals for treatment of undisclosed injuries.
While they were being evaluated, police say that a 12-year-old boy also arrived at the hospital suffering from a gunshot wound sustained in the incident.
All of their injuries were considered non-life-threatening.
Smith said that the preliminary investigation determined that at least two people got out of a gray or light blue four-door sedan that had heavily tinted windows and began firing into a crowd, striking their six victims.
Photos of the vehicle have since been released by investigators.
The vehicle has a white paper tag on the back and none on the front with a spare tire on the front passenger side.
"What I can comment on is that we're working tirelessly to help move some of these illegal guns off the street," Smith said. "We're working with the ATF, our task force and we're seeing an increase of guns in the District."
No additional details about the shooters has been provided.
