U.S. marshals are looking for a teenager wanted in connection with a fatal shooting during a robbery in the Deanwood area of Northeast Washington.

A warrant has been issued for 19-year-old Emmanuel Johnson in the shooting death of 20-year-old Deuante Ray.

On Oct. 30, shortly after midnight, D.C. police in the 6th District responded to the rear of the 1100 block of 48th Street for the sound of gunshots. Officers found Ray lying in the alley and suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.

Four hours after Ray was killed, a second man was shot dead four blocks away in an alley in the 4400 block of Hunt Place NE. Police identified that victim as 24-year-old Robert Aren Eagleman Jr. of Capitol Heights. Police have not said whether the two deaths were linked.

Johnson also has a warrant issued in June out of D.C. for carrying a concealed weapon. Details of that incident were not available.

Johnson is described as a black male, 6-foot-1, weighing 157 pounds with medium length braided hair. Johnson is known to hang out between Minnesota Avenue NE and 49th Place NE. He may be staying with family or friends in Northeast Washington or Prince George’s County.

Anyone with information on Johnson’s whereabouts can call the U.S. Marshals Service at 800-336-0102.

The Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force, run by the U.S. Marshals Service, is comprised of 30 federal, state and local agencies from Baltimore to Norfolk. The unit has captured more than 29,000 wanted fugitives since its creation in 2004.
