The Metropolitan Police Department is asking for the community’s assistance to locate a suspect involved in an Assault with Significant Bodily Injury offense in Northwest.
On Wednesday, January 1, 2025, at approximately 2:00 a.m., Third District officers responded to the 1700 block of Florida Avenue, Northwest, for a report of an assault. The victim reported that the suspect used a hateful slur and then began to attack him before fleeing the scene. The victim was transported to an area hospital by D.C. Fire and EMS for treatment of injuries.
The suspect can be seen in the photos below:
Anyone who can identify this suspect or who has knowledge of this incident should take no action but call police at (202) 727-9099 or text your tip to the Department's TEXT TIP LINE at 50411. The Metropolitan Police Department currently offers a reward of up to $1,000 to anyone who provides information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for a violent crime committed in the District of Columbia.
The Metropolitan Police Department is investigating this offense as potentially being motivated by hate or bias. The designation can be changed at any point as an investigation proceeds and more information is gathered. A designation as a hate crime by MPD does not mean that prosecutors will prosecute it as a hate crime. The Special Liaison Branch is assisting with this investigation.
