Regional Investigation Division detectives are actively searching for a man who fired a weapon into the air outside of a business in North Brentwood. He is 25-year-old Moises Delcid of the 900 block of Quincy Street in Northwest, Washington DC.
On October 4th, at approximately 4:30 pm, officers responded to the 4500 block of Rhode Island Avenue for a reported shooting and the report of man who had pointed a gun. The victim told officers that the day before, on October 3rd, Delcid came to the business and demanded service. Before leaving, Delcid threatened the victim. Three hours later, at 7:30 pm on October 3rd, Delcid returned to the business. This time, Delcid wore a military-style flak vest and was carrying what appeared to be a sub machine gun style assault firearm. Delcid again demanded service.
