DC Metropolitan Police have released a surveillance video of three people wanted in connection with the September shooting death of Wayne Young.

The video shows three men, one wearing white, one wearing grey, and one wearing black, approaching a white car parked on the side of the road. The man dressed in a white shirt approaches the drivers side and leans in the window, then appears to try to open the rear drivers-side door. When it doesn't open, the three men walk away.

Young, 57, was killed in a double shooting on H Street Northeast Sept. 25. The second victim survived.
