3 people found dead in Northeast DC apartment

Two women and a man were found dead in an apartment in Northeast D.C. Wednesday night, according to authorities.

Ramey Kyle, assistant chief of D.C. police, outlined at a press conference that night how police had found the three people during a “wellness check.”

Officers responded to a call asking them to check in on people living in an apartment on the 5000 block of Jay Street in Northeast just before 8 p.m.

“When they arrived at the residence they found the entrance door to be slightly ajar, inside three deceased adults,” Kyle said.

Police told ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ Thursday morning that all three of the people found had gunshot wounds. Officials also confirmed that two of them were women and one was a man.

Police have not released any more information about the three people or confirmed how they died. This is still an active investigation.
