Detectives are working with prosecutors to determine whether criminal charges are warranted against the person who shot the teen.
A homeowner fatally shot a 13-year-old boy early Saturday after apparently seeing the youth breaking into vehicles on a residential street in Northeast Washington’s Brookland neighborhood, according to D.C. police.The homeowner, who authorities did not identify by name or gender, was cooperating with investigators, said Dustin Sternbeck, a police department spokesman. Police identified the dead youth as Karon Blake of Northeast Washington.
Sternbeck said there is “no indication at this time” the youth was armed. He said detectives are working with prosecutors to determine whether criminal charges are warranted against the person who shot Karon. Police said Saturday they had only the homeowner’s account. Police said the shooting, which occurred shortly before 4 a.m. in the 1000 block of Quincy Street NE, apparently occurred when the homeowner confronted the youth after learning about or seeing several vehicles that had just been broken into along that street.Details of that confrontation were not immediately available. Police said the homeowner told them the youth who had been shot had been involved in the break-ins.
Sternbeck said the homeowner’s firearm was legally registered and that the homeowner was administering CPR to the youth when police arrived at the scene.
