In the early morning hours of Saturday, May 23, 2015, a burst of gunfire shattered the predawn quiet in Southeast Washington, D.C., leaving a young man dead and a woman wounded. The male victim was later identified as 29-year-old Anthony Andre Osgood. The incident unfolded at approximately 1:07 a.m. in the rear of the 2300 block of Irving Street, SE.
When officers from the Metropolitan Police Department arrived at the scene, they discovered both Osgood and an unidentified woman suffering from gunshot wounds. Emergency medical services transported both victims to a local hospital. Despite medical efforts, Anthony Osgood succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead. The female victim was admitted for treatment, though her condition was not publicly detailed.
It was not made clear by authorities if Osgood and the woman knew each other.
In the wake of the shooting, the Metropolitan Police Department launched a homicide investigation and appealed to the public for any information that might lead to the apprehension of those responsible for Osgood's death. However, no arrests have been announced in connection with the case, and the investigation into the fatal shooting that cut short Anthony Osgood's life remains unsolved. Anthony Osgood, a resident of Southeast D.C., is survived by his parents, two children, and a host of other relatives and friends who mourned his sudden and violent passing.
