WASHINGTON, DC — The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) announced that an arrest was made in connection with a murder investigation in Southeast.

The deadly shooting took place on July 1 in the 1800 block of E Street.

Just minutes after 2 a.m., officers were called to the area after gunshots were heard, according to police. There, police found 50-year-old Lawrence Meekins, of Northwest, who had been shot.

Medics tried to save him at the scene, but he died.

For more than a month, D.C. detectives continued to pursue leads.

On Sept. 22, investigators responded to a jail in the District for a D.C. Court booking order, where 40-year-old Ramone Richardson of Southeast was arrested. He was charged with second-degree murder while armed.
