Statement on January 16 Homicide in Ward 3

I am deeply saddened by the violence that occurred overnight in Ward 3. I have been briefed by the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) and appreciate their quick response. According to MPD, an adult male was shot and killed during a domestic dispute inside a residence in the City Ridge development off Wisconsin Avenue just before 2:30 am. The case is now being handled by homicide detectives who are on the scene, and an active investigation is underway. My thoughts are with the family and loved ones of the victim during this difficult time. Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 202-727-9099 or text tips to the Department's TEXT TIP LINE at 50411.

Statement In Response to the Loss of MPD Investigator Wayne David

Yesterday, Investigator Wayne David, a 25-year Metropolitan Police Department veteran, tragically lost his life in the line of duty. My deepest sympathies go to his loved ones and colleagues during this difficult time. Investigator David dedicated his life to helping make his native DC a safer place. He was committed to getting guns off our streets, and this loss is yet another reminder that the scourge of guns and the pain they cause continues to plague the District. Every day, our police officers and first responders risk their lives to keep their neighbors safe from harm, and they deserve our thanks and support. I join the entire city in expressing my condolences to the family of Investigator David, as well as my gratitude to all at MPD for their bravery and sacrifice. Matt Frumin Ward 3 Councilmember
