Four killed, including two teenagers in separate DC shootings
A violent day in the nation’s capital left four people dead Tuesday, including two teenagers.
What they're saying:
They're heartbroken, and struggling to understand why their loved one was killed. His brother, Kevohn McCormick, shared his disbelief.
"It’s unreal for a kid like him. He really doesn’t bother a soul. He is really passion-driven. He wanted to make sure he was doing something honest and could provide his own way," McCormick said.
Hill’s family revealed that he had plans to enroll in an IT job training program, a hopeful step in his life that was tragically cut short.
Police are actively investigating the shooting and are searching for a dark Toyota sedan which they believe is connected to the crime.
The motive for the shooting remains unclear.
