“This is unfortunate,” Contee said during an evening press conference. “My heart goes out to the family to this special police officer.”
Law enforcement authorities asked residents to look out for a White Camry with dark tinted windows, FOX 5 DC reported. The vehicle was last seen on Wheeler Road, headed toward Southern Avenue SE.
MPDC released very few details as they seek the suspect responsible for the homicide.
