At tonight’s EPCPC meeting, Captain McDonagh gave a good update on Monday’s homicide. Here’s what they’re saying:

• The victim’s name has still not been released, but he was a 56 year old African American.
• Police were familiar with the victim from their patrols, where he was out on the streets late at night
• Investigators do have some information from witnesses that were in the area, and homicide detectives are looking for a specific person who they believe was a direct witness to the shooting.
• According to Capt. McDonagh, the crime “Doesn’t appear to be random.  We believe the subject was involved with someone else who shot him.
• Contrary to our early reports, investigators think he was shot in the 2500 block of Columbia and didn’t move far before he collapsed.
