 On the night of Jan. 17, officers responded to the 1000 block of Hollywood Road NW after receiving reports of a person shot. When they got to the scene, they found a man lying in the parking lot of a food mart with multiple gunshot wounds.

Medical personnel arrived and pronounced the man dead at the scene. He was later identified as 18-year-old Jalin "Jay" Hammons.
