$75K In Reward Money Offered In DC Mass Shooting Case

WASHINGTON, DC — The Washington field offices of the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) have each donated $25,000 in reward money for information that would lead to the arrest of suspects in connection with Sunday's mass shooting in Southeast, according to a police release.

Around 12:20 a.m., officers from the Metropolitan Police Department's Sixth District were at a large gathering in the 3300 block of Dubois Place, S.E., when they heard gunshots. After canvassing the area, the officers found multiple victims suffering from apparent gunshot wounds.

D.C. Fire and EMS transported victims to nearby hospitals for the treatment of life and non-life threatening injuries. All life-saving efforts fail to save one victim — 17-year-old Christopher Brown, of Northeast — who was pronounced dead. In total, 22 victims sustained gunshot wounds and two others were injured while fleeing the scene.

One of the shooting victims was MPD Officer Charlee Brown, 22, who was off duty at the time of the incident. Brown is "struggling for her life," according Police Chief Peter Newsham. Members of the Police Academy Class 19-7 have organized a GoFundMe campaign to raise $30,000 to help pay for Brown's medical and living expenses following the shooting. As of 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday, the campaign had raised more than $8,800 in donations.

On Sunday, over 20 people were injured by gunfire & 17 y/o Christopher Brown was shot & killed in the 3300 blk of Dubois Pl, SE. Yesterday our Cadet Corps & Outreach Team passed out resources in the neighborhood & searched for new evidence. Have info? Call 202-727-9099/text 50411 pic.twitter.com/uacTxnhCVk
