The Metropolitan Police Department is naming two suspects in a drive-by shooting early Monday morning that left 13 people wounded. Police are looking for Andrew Davon Allen and Craig Wilson, both 19, in connection with the shooting that took place about 2:10 a.m. on the 1200 block of North Capitol Street NW. Two vehicles were seen rolling by the block in a surveillance video of the shooting that police released on Monday, though police did not have a description of the cars' makes and models. However, one of them has since been identified as a black or midnight blue 1999 Mercedes-Benz CLK 320 coupe with D.C. tags EF7810.

Allen is described as black male, 5-feet-eight inches tall, 150 pounds, brown eyes, black hair with a medium complexion, and in wearing glasses in an MPD-issued photo. Wilson is described as a black male, 6-feet-2 inches tall, 140 pounds, brown eyes, black hair with a dark complexion, and has a tattoo of a revolver on the front of his neck.

Twelve of the victims in Monday's shooting suffered minor wounds, while one was hospitalized in critical condition. In the wake of the drive-by, Councilmember Tommy Wells (D-Ward 6), who represents the transforming neighborhood, called for the closure of two nightclubs in the vicinity, Fur and Ibiza.

Wells and Ibiza owner Eric Clay issued a joint statement today saying that people walking through NoMa should be able to expect to do so safely. "As a business owner in a growing community such as NoMa, I know we have a responsibility to help maintain a safe community; not only for our patrons inside and out of our establishment, but for our surrounding neighborhood as well," Clay says.
