D.C. authorities are examining a fatal shooting incident in the city’s Northwest region that claimed the life of a 38-year-old man Monday evening. According to police reports, the shooting occurred shortly before 10 p.m. in the 1300 block of Otis Place. Eyewitnesses informed law enforcement that three individuals arrived in a dark-colored sedan, entered an alleyway behind the targeted residence, and began firing multiple shots. Preliminary investigation indicates at least 47 rounds were discharged during the incident. The victim, Cordarall Allen Horne, sustained multiple gunshot wounds and succumbed to his injuries on the back porch of the home.

The scene of the tragedy displayed evidence of the violence, with bullet casings and damage visible on interior surfaces including walls and a kitchen stove. Additionally, law enforcement noted damage to a vehicle parked in the driveway.
Cordarall Allen Horne was described by his family as a father and grandfather who maintained connections to North Carolina. His sister expressed strong conviction that her brother was the subject of a tragic error. “We’re not originally from this area. Neither was he. I can confidently assert that those responsible for this act likely did not recognize Cordarall,” the family member stated during the interview.
