Man Fatally Shot Near Protest Against Trump Crime Crackdown in Washington DC

A man was fatally shot in Washington, D.C.'s Logan Circle neighborhood on Monday evening near ongoing protests against President Trump's decision to deploy the National Guard to combat crime in the city. The victim, identified as 33-year-old Tymark Wells, was found unconscious with multiple gunshot wounds and later died at a hospital. The shooting occurred within a short walking distance of protesters rallying against the federal crime crackdown, highlighting the tense atmosphere surrounding the city's recent spike in violence. Police are searching for a suspect described as a man wearing a black shirt and carrying a rifle, but no connection between the shooting and the White House or President Trump has been established. The incident took place amid a 26% drop in violent crime reported by the Metropolitan Police Department this year, following Trump's unprecedented federal efforts to address crime in the District. Officials closed fence lines around the White House as a precaution after the shooting.
