D.C. police arrested a man in the death of a security guard shot while patrolling a southeast Washington neighborhood in September.
Evan Williams of Upper Marlboro was driving to his job site after 11 p.m. when he was shot in the 4000 block of 3rd Street SE Sept. 8, police said. A bullet entered through the passenger side window, almost struck his patrol partner in the passenger's seat and struck Williams in the neck, sources said.
Williams drove to a nearby fire station, got out of the car and collapsed. His partner sought help.
Williams was taken to a hospital but died before arriving.
Police do not believe Williams was the intended target.
Another man believed to have been shot during the same incident drove himself to an area hospital and is expected to OK.
Police arrested 30-year-old Dewayne Chatman of southeast D.C. Tuesday. He is charged with first-degree murder while armed and assault with intent to kill.
