Neighbors said they are "fed up" after a double shooting left a man dead and another injured in Northwest D.C. Wednesday. 

D.C. police have identified the man killed in a double shooting Wednesday in the District.

Authorities say 29‑year‑old Keyon Malik Maynor died from his injuries. The second victim was treated for non‑life‑threatening injuries and is in stable condition.

Police are searching for a white Honda with red markings and Maryland tag 4EV6264 in connection with the incident.

Several neighbors said shootings happen in the area far too often, echoing concerns raised in April about ongoing violence despite a heavy National Guard presence.

Anyone with information is asked to call police at 202‑727‑9099 or text the department’s tip line at 50411. A reward of up to $25,000 is available for information leading to an arrest and conviction.
