so i'm grateful and i'm thankful for the work of mpd to make today's arrest. to give more information out. also grateful to the public in helping to provide tips and information and helping share that with mpd so they can take their action. fortunately the 1-year-old is home and with their family and is recovering well. but at no point should a 1-year-old ever have to be headed off to the hospital for this. so i'm glad of mpd's action, very grateful for their hard work and look forward to information the chief's going to be able to help shire aboare ab ongoing case with us. >> good morning. thank you, deputy mayor donahue, thank you council member allen. i also have commander leslie parsons from our criminal investigations division and commander morgan cain with me here today. so on monday, july 10, at about 9:00 p.m., members of the first district went to the alley in the rear of the 1300 block of i street northeast for the sound of gunshots. when they got on the scene, they found a

the small boy was taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. i want to mention the fact that d.c. fire and ems was there almost immediately to provide care to the young boy. we released a video in this case to the public. members of the metropolitan police department worked tirelessly. thanks to the assistance of the community and thanks to the detective work, i'm very pleased to announce that we have made one arrest in the case. early this morning, pursuant to a d.c. superior court arrest warrant, members of the capitol hill area regional fugitive task force arrested 39-year-old derrick damon watson of northeast d.c. the arrest was made in southeast washington, d.c.. watson is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon and unlawful possession of a firearm, but we still need the

public's assistance in this case. we have an additional arrest warrant for a man -- a 27-year-old sahid washington sulu of southeast d.c. we will be handing out these flyers with a photograph of this wanted suspect. we need the public's help in helping us find this gentleman and bringing him in to custody. we're also asking the community to continue to look at the video that we provided to assist us in identifying the third suspect in this case. it is our belief that all three of these men were involved in some kind of a dispute where they resorted to firearms. there was more than one child that was in the area as these grown men were firing weapons at each other in our community. so i'm asking the public to please take a second look at th

version of the video that just shows the one person that we're continuing to try to identify. lastly, i'd like to thank detective david gargak, who was the lead detective in this case, for all of his work. and i also want to encourage anybody who has any information to give us a call on 202-727-9099 or you can text us on 50411. does anybody have any questions? >> chief, when something like that happens in our community, what does it do to that neighborhood? what does it do to our -- >> you know, i had an opportunity to go over there, and you know, i got to tell you, it's a great community over there. people were very helpful, very friendly. it's very upsetting. you know what i mean? they were out there on a typical monday summer evening, young kids were out there, they were enjoying the evening out in the courtyard, and you had three grown men that decided to settle a dispute with firea

were young kids in the area. you know, that kid is going to have to live with that for the rest of his life. we're very thankful that the injury was non-life-threatening, but that's, you know, that's just something -- and that's why i got to say, the community has been great in this case, giving us information. i think everybody who lives there wants to make sure that the folks that are responsible for this are brought into custody. >> d.c. police chief there announcing the arrest in the shooting of 1-year-old jeremiah white. the man is derek damon watson of northwest washington and they're looking for a third suspect. two more suspects, in fact. one identified. we'll continue to followhis story tin
