Officers responded to a shooting at that location around 6:13 p.m. and found a man, later identified as 27-year-old Alexandria resident Tarek Boothe, suffering from a gunshot wound.

Boothe died of his wounds at an area hospital.

“It is my hope that our community members will recognize this individual and provide us with information on his whereabouts,” D.C. police Chief Robert Contee said in a video posted to the department’s Twitter feed.

“Based on the quality of the footage, there is a strong likelihood that our community knows who this individual is.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact detectives at 202-727-9099. Tips can be submitted anonymously by texting 50411. Police offer rewards of up to $25,000 for information that leads to the arrest and successful conviction of homicides in the District.

Several days after an arbitrator ordered the Washington Post to reinstate fired opinion writer Karen Attiah, she told 小萝莉影视 she's still hasn't gotten a phone call about returning to work. "I'm waiting to hear from the Washington Post as of this morning," Attiah said. "I'm willing to go back to the work that I was doing as a columnist and as a writer particularly focused on race, gender and international rights." A Thursday ruling by arbitrator Sarah Miller Espinosa said the newspaper did not have sufficient cause to fire Attiah over social media posts about violent white men following last year's killing of Charlie Kirk, and ordered the Post to award Attiah full back pay and lost benefits. "So, the Washington Post has its marching orders, let's see if they follow them," said Attiah, who described her reaction to arbitrator's ruling as "vindicated, slightly tired, really happy about the decision and reinstatement, plus back pay, of course."
