Two teenagers were shot in Northwest D.C., according to police, down the street from where another minor was killed on Friday near the Washington Convention Center

The teenagers were found conscious and breathing at around 5:20 p.m. in the 400 block of O Street NW, and at least one was taken to the hospital, D.C. police said.

More details about potential suspects were not provided. 

On Friday, 15-year-old Makai Green, of Northwest D.C., was shot multiple times after someone got out of a car and opened fire on a group of teenagers. He was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead, police said.

Police said they are searching for a silver Mercedes with tinted windows in that case. They also said the masked gunman is about 5-foot-10 or 5-foot-11 with a very thin build, who was wearing blue jeans and a dark jacket.

"I was born and raised here. I got into a bit of trouble myself as a young man," Assistant Chief Andre Wright said on Friday. "I hope and pray for these young folks that they get a chance to do what I did, which is outlive their mistakes."
