D.C. police said two men were stabbed Wednesday, one fatally, in Northwest Washington in an incident that homicide investigators were still trying to sort out late in the afternoon.
Police said the victims, whom they described as "transgender males," were stabbed shortly after 2:30 p.m. in the 200 block of Q Street NW. Each was taken from the scene by ambulance and one was pronounced dead at Howard University Hospital, police said.
The name of the dead victim was withheld by authorities pending notification of his relatives.
A police spokesman said it was not immediately clear whether the two men were attacked or were involved in a fight with each other.
