On Wednesday, May 29, 2013, at approximately 2:15 pm, two on duty police officers from the 7th District spotted a vehicle that had been taken in a carjacking that had just occurred. The officers were able to get behind the vehicle and follow it. The vehicle came to a stop in the 900 block of Barnaby Street, SE where the suspect exited the vehicle and shot at the officers. Another officer arrived on the scene and the suspect then shot at that officer, and then turned back towards the two officers and fired again at them, at which time they fired their service weapons striking the suspect. Personnel from the DC Fire and Emergency Medical Services responded to the scene and transported the victim to a local hospital where he succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead. One officer sustained a minor wound and was treated and released from a local hospital.

The decedent has been identified as 34-year-old Nathaniel McRae of Northwest, Washington DC.

Anyone with information about either case is asked to call the police at (202) 727-9099. Additionally, anonymous information may be submitted to the department’s TEXT TIP LINE by text messaging 50411.
