On the evening of Tuesday, January 17, 2017, six or seven gunshots were reported in the Deanwood neighborhood of Northeast Washington, D.C.

He was identified as 44-year-old Anthony Irving, a resident of that block, and was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Metropolitan Police Department’s Homicide Branch opened an investigation and asked the public for help.
