Two suspects in a deadly robbery in Northwest Washington were caught on surveillance cameras . Investigators believe the two men forced their way into apartment 410 of The Pershing House in the 3,700 block of 16th Street, Northwest, about 11 p.m. Monday. Inside there was a struggle. Neighbors heard gunshots. When police arrived, they found Samuel Garcia-Donis dead from a gunshot wound to the head. Outside the building, police found two wounded men, one shot in the neck, the other in the chest.
At this point, police do not believe the suspects and the victims knew one another.
Witnesses spotted two men running from the building. Detectives suspect the same robbers have struck twice in the past two weeks. There was another robbery in the same apartment building on Friday, June 22nd. A 22-year-old man says he was tied-up, beaten and robbed about 5:30 p.m.
On Tuesday, June 20th, police responded to a similar robbery call one block away, in the 3,600 block of 16th Street, Northwest.
The suspects are described as two black men in their late teens or early twenties, between 5'10" to 6' tall. One of the suspects has dreadlocks. Anyone with information about this case is asked to call police at 202-727-9099. There is a $25,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction.
