Teenage suspect arrested in Washington, D.C. in connection with mass shooting that killed one person and wounded three others, police say.
August 19, 2022, 6:46 AMA teenage suspect was arrested in Washington, D.C., on ThursdayThe 15-year-old boy, who lives in the northwestern part of the U.S. capital, was taken into custody by members of the Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force. He was then transported to a juvenile processing center where he was charged with first degree murder while armed, according to the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia, which did not release the suspect's name.
The victims were rushed to area hospitals for treatment. The 15-year-old boy, identified as Chase Poole, ultimately died from his injuries, while the three other victims were treated for non-life threatening injuries, according to police. Poole is one of 856 children ages 12 to 17 who have died from gun violence so far this year, according to the Gun Violence Archive, which tracks shootings in the United States from more than 7,500 law enforcement, media, government and commercial sources. Another 216 children who were 11 years old or younger have died from guns in 2022.
In a statement on June 21, Moechella organizers called the shooting a "senseless tragedy" and expressed their condolences to the victims and their families. "Moechella has always been a peaceful demonstration of our constitutionally protected right of assembly and free speech under the 1st amendment," the organizers added. "The purpose of this demonstration has always been to speak out against the social inequities plaguing Washington, D.C., like gun violence, like the lack of resources for the underserved community, police brutality and the need for D.C. statehood.
