The shooting took place just two miles from where a man was shot and killed while walking with two kids last week. Sedrick Miller, 42, of Northeast, was found with multiple gunshot wounds in the 2300 block of 18th Street NE. He was carrying an infant and grasping the hand of a 5-year-old boy. The children were not hurt.
Police are still looking for the shooter in that case.
