WASHINGTON — Police are investigating a Wednesday night shooting that left one woman, a reporter for a local newspaper, dead.

Milton’s death was one of four shootings that happened over just a few hours Wednesday night in Southeast D.C.

In Milton’s case, police responded to the 2700 block of Good Hope Road in Southeast after hearing the sound of gunshots in the area. They located Milton suffering from an apparent gunshot wound.

Emergency crews transported Milton to an area hospital where she later died.
