Store shooting a double homicide A second person has died in a robbery of a store Wednesday in the 1200 block of Fifth Street NE, D.C. police said.
Police responded to the shooting and found two people with gunshot wounds. One person was dead, and the other was taken to a hospital.
The victim at the scene was identified as Ming-Kun Chih, 59, of Silver Spring. The person who died at the hospital was Li-Jen Chih of the District.
Smuggler appeals sentence
The Virginia man who told authorities he helped smuggle 270 Somalis into the United States from Kenya has appealed his three-year probation sentence, court records show.
On June 4, Anthony Joseph was sentenced to four months of time he had already spent behind bars and three years probation — then was released. Now, he wants an appeals court to throw out the probation sentence. Tracy’s guilty plea is sealed so there is no way to know what laws the government informant admitted to breaking.
Federal immigration investigators have been unable to locate any of the Somalis Tracy claimed to have smuggled.
