In Brief:
A large fight in Dupont Circle last weekend turned fatally violent when 34-year-old Jhonte Coleman of Suitland, MD, was shot. A total of five others were stabbed or shot as well. No arrests have been made.
Rico Matthews was sentenced to 18 years in prison in the charge of second-degree murder for the fatal shooting of Jerome Bailey in Nov. 2010. Judge Lynn Leibovitz called the crime, which reportedly was centered on jealousy about a woman, “senseless.” “Two lives have been lost,” she said.
Two people were killed in Northeast DC: at about 6:30 p.m. Saturday night a man was shot multiple times and later died. Just after midnight, a woman was found inside an apartment building. She had been shot in the face.
