Teen shot in Georgetown on Halloween night dies

The 17-year-old boy from Southeast D.C. who was shot in Georgetown on Halloween night died Monday, according to Metropolitan Police.

In an incident that brought police near campus in search of armed suspects, Tyronn Vincent Garner was pronounced dead Monday at 8:10 p.m., according to an MPD release. Garner was shot Oct. 31 around 11 p.m. in the 2800 block of M St. N.W.

A 24-year-old D.C. man was arrested near the Foggy Bottom Metro shortly after the shooting, but no suspects have been linked to the shooting pending an ongoing investigation, MPD spokesman Anthony Clay said Wednesday.

MPD officers chased and arrested 24-year-old Andre Coleman and another man who got away, according to court documents cited in The Washington Post. Coleman was charged with carrying a pistol without a license, after witnesses said he left the scene following the shooting.
