Man killed by police on Capitol Hill identified
U.S. Park Police identified 27-year-old Kellen Anthony White, of Brandywine, as the man they shot and killed near the Capitol Wednesday evening.
Court records show White was on probation after pleading guilty to drug possession charges in August. In March 2008, he was accused of assaulting a police officer in Prince George’s County, but those charges were dropped.
On Wednesday, police say they tried to pull White over near Union Station, but he fled, striking two officers. When he finally came to a stop at New Jersey Avenue Southwest, police say he pulled out a gun and officers opened fire and killed him.
