SOUTHEAST WASHINGTON

Man Dead After Shooting, Fall

A 30-year-old Southeast Washington man was found dead of apparent gunshot wounds early yesterday, D.C. police said.

Officers found Jameel Bilal on the ground behind his apartment building in the 2500 block of Pomeroy Road about 12:40 a.m., shortly after responding to a call about the incident.

Bilal appeared to have been shot inside his third-floor apartment and then either fell or was pushed out a window, said Sgt. Joe Gentile, a police spokesman.

Police are investigating and urged anyone with information to call 202-727-9099.
