The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) is offering a $50,000 reward for information about an 18-year-old wanted in connection to the shooting death of a Capitol Hill intern in Washington, D.C.
MPD officials said Naqwan Antonio Lucas, 18, of Granby, Massachusetts, is wanted on a D.C. Superior Court arrest warrant for premeditated first degree murder while armed.
Two additional 17-year-old suspects, Kelvin Thomas, of Southeast, D.C. and Jailen Lucas, of Northwest, D.C. were arrested Friday and charged as adults with premeditated first degree murder while armed.
Both had prior violent criminal records in family court, according to U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro.
