The Metropolitan Police Department is currently investigating a double shooting which occurred inside of a business establishment located in the 2400 block of 18th Street, NW.
At approximately 11:11 pm on Sunday, September 28, 2008, officers from the Third District responded to the 2400 block of 18th Street, NW, to investigate the report of a shooting. Upon arrival, officers discovered two adult males inside of a restaurant at that location suffering from apparent gunshot wounds.
One of the victims, a 47-year-old male from Alexandria, Virginia was transported to an area hospital and admitted in stable condition. The second victim, identified as 50-year-old Tessaye[sic] Yemane of the 47000 block of Watkins Island Square in Potomac Falls, Virginia was transported to an area hospital where he was pronounced dead.
The identity of the surviving victim is being withheld since he is considered to be a witness in this case.
A preliminary investigation into this case reveals that the two victims may have been involved in a verbal altercation when the decedent produced a handgun and shot the surviving victim. The official manner of death in this case with respect to the decedent will be determined pending an autopsy to be conducted by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner for the District of Columbia.
