One Victim in Southwest Double Shooting Dies

For those of you following yesterday's broad daylight double shooting in Southwest, one of the victims is now reported to have died. From the Post's Paul Duggan: "The slaying victim was identified as Chicquelo Abeny of Southwest Washington. Police did not identify the second victim because he survived the shooting and is considered a witness." Police are still not offering any ideas as to a motive in the shootings, but Ward 6's Tommy Wells is already tweeting up a storm about setting up a community meeting "to determine if they are retalitory [sic] shootings or unrelated incidences."

Wait, one of the SUSPECTS died, or one of the VICTIMS died?

Victims. Typed the wrong word there.

Maybe I'm misreading reading Wells' tweet, but isn't he saying that he needs to determine if the at least two shootings in NE were retaliatory and that the SW shooting seems to be an argument amongst individuals, as in the NE shootings this weekend (also all in daylight and within blocks of each other) may be related to each other but the SW shooting is a stand alone? In any event, the shooting on 10th NE happened just steps from H St, NE, and while still light out, so I hope Wells and others actually spend some time on this.
