The Metropolitan Police Department is searching for a teenager or young adult with dreadlocks and braces in the fatal stabbing at the Deanwood Metro station this morning.

D.C. police released two photos and a description of the person of interest: “a 14 to 20 year old black male, medium complexion, medium build, with dreadlocks and braces. He was last seen wearing blue jeans and a black jacket.”

The stabbing took place shortly before 11 a.m. The victim, whose name has not been released, was unconscious when he was transported to a local hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.

A 15 year old, Davonte Washington, was shot and killed at the Deanwood Metro station just two weeks ago.

A Twitter account that tracks D.C.’s homicides notes that Ward 7’s murder rate has far outpaced last year.
