Update from the Washington Post:

Jason Anthony Emma moved to Capitol Hill from Arlington County on Dec. 1, piling into a rowhouse filled with his lifelong friends and excited about living in the city and walking to restaurants, bars and concerts.

But after returning to his new home on C Street in Northeast Washington about 2:15 a.m. Monday, police said the 28-year-old was shot several times, killed as he sat in the driver’s seat of his black Audi just moments after parking.
