21-year-old killed in Northeast shooting

Two men were shot, and one of them killed, in Northeast D.C. Friday night.

D.C. police said they found Shawn Junior Ray, 21, of Northeast D.C., dead with multiple gunshot wounds around 11:30 p.m. on the 4200 block of Edson Place NE.

The other shooting victim was found nearby and taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Prince George’s County firefighters battled a blaze in a two-story single family home for nearly an hour Saturday morning, with flames engulfing the garage, second story and attic of the home on the 9800 block of Spinnaker Street in Rosaryville.

Officials were forced to fight the fire from the outside after a side wall of the house collapsed and another wall appeared to be in danger of collapsing. Firefighters extinguished the flames at 9:50 a.m.

The family of four adults and two children was uninjured.

Officials do not yet know what caused the fire or how much damage was done by the blaze.
