They say the man had some kind of "interaction" with Karon Blake -- before shooting him multiple times. So, what lead to this so-called interaction? Multiple District leaders have shared their feelings about the shooting death of a 13-year-old boy in D.C.’s Brookland neighborhood this weekend. DC Police officers found Karon Blake on Quincy Street Northeast, near Michigan Avenue Northeast, around 4 a.m. Saturday. Officers determined a man living in the neighborhood had shot Blake after he allegedly appeared to be tampering with cars in the area. The man, who has yet to be identified or charged, interacted with Blake before he ultimately shot him with his registered firearm. Emergency crews eventually took Blake to an area hospital where doctors would later pronounce him dead. On Monday, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser commented on Blake’s shooting at a press conference. “If you feel there is a public safety issue in and around your home, call 911,” she said. “That is the appropriate thing to do.” The mayor said she was sad yet another child had died on D.C. streets. “We would rather be talking about a 13-year-old going to school today instead of talking about him being killed on one of our streets and I'm incredibly sad about that,” she said. Newly elected Ward 5 Councilmember Zachary Parker issued a press release about Blake’s death after meeting with Blake’s family and the Metropolitan Police Department. “No car or material possession is worth a life – under any circumstances,” he said.
