D.C. police have identified a suspect in a shooting last week, after which the wounded victim ran inside an elementary school in Northeast Washington just as classes had started.

Ronnell Holmes, 44, of Northwest, has been charged in a warrant with assault with intent to kill. Police released a photo of the suspect and warned that he “should be considered armed and dangerous.”

The shooting occurred about 8:30 a.m. Dec. 12 outside of Harmony D.C. Public Charter Schools in the 100 block of T Street NE, in Eckington. Police said the suspected gunman, in a gold Lexus, shot at a man who was sitting in another car parked on the street. The victim was struck in the leg and abdomen.

Police said the victim had just helped his girlfriend drop her child off at the school. The mother was inside the building when the shooting occurred, and when the victim ran inside for help. A police report identifies the suspect as the former boyfriend of the child’s mother.

The police report says the child’s mother told detectives that her ex-boyfriend had recently threatened her, saying that “he cannot accept the fact that she has moved on and also made a comment to her that ‘If I can’t have you, no one else can.’ ”

After the shooting, Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D) and Interim Police Chief Peter Newsham visited with students at the school.
