A shooting on the evening of Sunday, August 18, 2019, left three people wounded in the Kenilworth-Parkside neighborhood of Washington, D.C. Police responded around 10:00 p.m. to the 1500 block of 45th Street Northeast after reports of gunfire. Among the victims was 40-year-old Corey Wells of Capitol Heights, Maryland, who was found unconscious with a gunshot wound, taken to a local hospital, and later pronounced dead.

Two other adults, a man and a woman, sustained non-life-threatening injuries and were expected to survive. The Metropolitan Police Department’s Homicide Branch opened an investigation and said the incident was not believed to be connected to a homicide on the same block four days earlier. No suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced; the department has offered a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

If anyone has information about the shooting of Corey Wells, please contact the Metropolitan Police Department.
