Last night, 18-year-old, Deangelo Johnson, was arrested and charged with the second degree murder of another teen in the District neighborhood of Trinidad.
Johnson is the alleged suspect in Sunday night's fatal shooting of Karon Shannon, 17. Shannon, a Trinidad resident, was found in the 1200 block of Simms Place NE. According to authorities, Shannon had gotten into an argument with someone who had objected a derogatory statement about him.
The Trinidad area, located in NE Washington, has drawn a lot of attention lately due to recent outbreaks of violence. So far, six of the 10 Trinidad homicide cases this year have been closed by police.
