About 11:40 p.m. Saturday, police found the body of Kevin Vincent Bradshaw, 41, in the 800 block of Yuma Street SE. He was shot multiple times, police said. "One possibility they're looking at is robbery," Gentile said.

Bradshaw was apparently attacked as he walked home from a bus stop after undergoing kidney dialysis at Howard University Hospital, said his brother, Ricky Bradshaw. "He was a guy who was so good, never been in trouble, never did anything unlawful," he said.

Shortly after 3 a.m. yesterday, police responding to a call about gunfire discovered a man with gunshot wounds in an apartment building in the 300 block of 54th Street NE, Gentile said. The man, whose identity was unavailable, was declared dead at Prince George's Hospital Center, he said.

In Prince George's, a 20-year-old man was killed early yesterday while sitting on the couch in his Oxon Hill apartment, police said. Police responding to a call about 2 a.m. discovered that Darius David Berry had been shot several times through the sliding-glass door of his ground-floor apartment in the 900 block of Marcy Avenue. He died at the scene.

Cpl. Diane Richardson, a spokeswoman for the Prince George's police, said investigators did not know whether Berry was targeted or was the victim of a random shooting.

In Laurel, a man was fatally shot about 3 a.m. during an argument outside J's Sports Cafe in the 12600 block of Laurel Bowie Road, officials said. Richardson said off-duty police officers working security nearby were responding to the fight when they heard a shot.

The crowd scattered, leaving Travis Lashawn Robinson, 29, of Suitland, lying on the pavement, she said. Robinson was taken to a hospital and died a few hours later.

Staff researcher Rena Kirsch contributed to this report.
