A violent early-morning shooting in Northwest Washington left 21-year-old Oscar Rubio dead and another man wounded. Police were called to the 900 block of Decatur Street NW about 2:33 a.m. on Monday, May 31, 2010, and found a male with a gunshot wound who was taken to a hospital. Minutes later, at about 2:40 a.m., officers were summoned to the 800 block of Crittenden Street NW, where Oscar Rubio of the 800 block of Decatur Street NW was found shot; he was transported to a hospital and pronounced dead at 3:44 a.m.

Detectives treated the two scenes as possibly connected. The surviving victim’s identity was withheld because he was considered a witness, and investigators said armed robbery was the preliminary motive. The Metropolitan Police Department has asked the public for information; no arrests or official suspects have been announced.

If anyone knew Oscar Rubio, saw activity in the 800–900 block area of Decatur or Crittenden Streets around that early morning, or has information that could help investigators, please come forward.
