Stolen Kia linked to deadly double shooting in Northeast DC

Detectives in D.C. believe two people were shot in a stolen Kia Monday in Northeast D.C. As a result, a man is dead and a teenager was left injured. FOX 5's Nana-Sentuo Bonsu has the story.

WASHINGTON - A teenager is dead, and another is recovering after police say both were struck by bullets in a residential neighborhood in Northeast D.C. Monday afternoon.

Metropolitan Police Department Assistant Chief Ramey Kyle told reporters at the scene of the crime in the 4600 block of Minnesota Avenue that they received a call regarding the shooting around 3:38 p.m.

Assistant Chief Kyle said the officers who were sent to the neighborhood near Ron Brown High School found both victims suffering from gunshot wounds. A 19-year-old who has been identified as Tyreek Sheldon Moore was located "unconscious and not breathing" inside a Kia, and another teenager was found outside the vehicle nearby. While the teen was taken to a local hospital, Assistant Chief Kyle said Moore succumbed to his injuries and died.

So far, detectives believe the victims were traveling in the Kia, which Kyle said was stolen from Prince George's County earlier in the day, when another vehicle pulled up alongside them and fired shots.

The department has released an image of the Acura that they believe was involved in the shooting in hopes the public will help solve the crime.
