DC violence interrupter arrested for deadly shooting
It’s been more than a year since Blake Bozeman was shot and killed at a nightclub along H Street Northeast, and now a man tasked with stopping gun violence in D.C. is under arrest.
“He wasn’t just an athlete, he was a businessman, he was a realtor, he had community service,” Blake Bozeman’s father, Todd Bozeman, told News4 at a basketball game honoring his son.
The 31-year-old was known as a family man and stand-out basketball star at Morgan State
University.
“Some people say he finished the race, but he really didn’t finish the race because he didn’t get his kids through,” Todd Bozeman said.
On Friday, D.C. police announced two arrests in the case: Cotey Wynn and Antwan Shelton were arrested and charged with first degree murder while armed.
Police said the shooting happened at the Cru Hookah Lounge along H Street.
Wynn is known for his work on D.C. streets as a violence interrupter with the Cure the Streets program. The organization works with the District’s Office of the Attorney General.
Wynn and Shelton were at the lounge and allegedly planned the shooting, according to court documents.
Investigators released photos of Wynn and Shelton walking up to the lounge before the shooting, which show the moments Shelton allegedly began firing inside the crowded lounge, striking and killing Bozeman and injuring three other people.
“He’s not going to be able to walk his daughter down the aisle, do the father daughter dance, none of that,” Todd Bozeman said.
Blake Bozeman worked as a realtor and left behind his wife and three young kids.
In a statement to News4, the OAG said, “These allegations are deeply troubling, and our hearts go out to the victims, their families and their loved ones. Our office had no knowledge of Cotey’s potential involvement in any events related to his arrest.”
Both Wynn and Shelton remain behind bars and are due back in court on April 1.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The FBI is leaving its longtime headquarters in D.C. and will transfer 1,500 employees to locations around the country, according to FBI Director Kash Patel.
What we know:
Patel announced the news Friday morning, stating he didn’t expect to share the details of the move.
“This FBI is leaving the Hoover building because this building is unsafe for our workforce,” Patel told Fox Business anchor Maria Bartiromo in a preview clip of an interview that is set to air on Sunday, May 18 on the network.
“The FBI is 38,000 when we are fully manned, which we are not. In the national capital region in the 50-mile radius around Washington, D.C., there were 11,000 FBI employees. That’s like a third of the workforce. A third of the crime doesn’t happen here.”
“So we are taking 1,500 of those folks and moving them out. Every state is getting a plus-up. And I think when we do things like that, we inspire folks in America to become intel analysts and agents and say we want to work at the FBI because we want to fight violent crime, and we want to be sent out into the country to do it.”
He added that the transition will begin in the next “three, six, nine months.”
“We want the American men and women to know if you’re going to come work at the premier law enforcement agency in the world, we’re going to give you a building that’s commensurate with that, and that’s not this place.”

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Washington Capitals are back on the ice Thursday night in hopes of defeating the Carolina Hurricanes in Game 5.
The breakdown:
As an organization, the Washington Capitals have orchestrated what some would describe as a dream season.
From Alex Ovechkin becoming the NHL’s all-time goals-scoring leader to the Caps finishing with the best record in the Eastern conference, coupled with the team advancing to the second round of the playoffs for the first time since 2018. But if Washington doesn’t find a way to win tonight, the dream will have come to an end.
It’s game five of the Washington Capitals and Carolina Hurricanes’ best-of-seven series, and after taking games 3 and 4 at home, the Canes hold a suffocating 3-1 lead. In game three, Carolina staved off the Caps’ strong start to ultimately win a shutout. In game four, the Hurricanes flexed their collective muscle from the start, holding on for a 5-2 victory.
Capitals win game 2 over Hurricanes
The Washington Capitals won game two in their second-round series against the Carolina Hurricanes Thursday night as they chase the Stanley Cup.

And that brings us to tonight. The Washington Capitals are facing elimination. A team that has defied the odds all season long now has the inevitable task of needing to win three games in a row to advance to the conference finals. In what has already been a season, the likes of which could be the plot of a blockbuster movie script, pulling off that task would be a fitting ending. But this is the NHL playoffs, not a Hollywood movie set. The Caps must claw back against the Canes, one game at a time.
The Washington Capitals host the Carolina Hurricanes tonight at Capital One arena. The puck drops at 7 p.m. and it’s win or go home.
