D.C. police are asking for the public's help to find a man suspected of shooting and killing a Baltimore man who was installing solar panels in Southeast D.C. earlier this month.
The suspect, 27-year-old Avery Miller, is wanted on a first-degree murder charge in the death of 25-year-old Aryeh Wolf.
"We want everybody looking for this individual. This person is armed and dangerous," Cpt. Kevin Kentish said.

Officers were called to the 5100 block of Call Place SE at about 3:40 p.m. on Aug. 10. They found Wolf with a gunshot wound. Medics responded and took him to a hospital, where he died.
There's no evidence to indicate that there was an argument between Miller and Wolf, police said.
Court records show Miller recently spent time in prison for assault on a police officer, and police said they would like to get him off the street as fast as possible.

Wolf was remembered as a community-oriented husband and father who volunteered to help children with cancer and other serious illnesses.
“Aryeh was giving, fun, warm and drew people towards him. The children loved him, the other volunteers loved him and this loss leaves a huge void,” said Racheli Daniel, director of Chai Lifeline Mid-Atlantic, an international children’s health support network for which Wolf volunteered for years.
Wolf worked as a counselor at Chai Lifeline’s free New York state camp for children with illnesses, Camp Simcha.
“We are shocked and devastated by this news and extend our sincerest condolences to his family and loved ones. May they be comforted among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem,” an online post by camp officials said, accompanied by a playful photo of Wolf with a child.
Anyone with potentially relevant information on the killing is asked to contact police. A reward of up to $25,000 is offered.
