She has been identified by police as 35-year-old Chanae McLaughlin of no fixed address.

Around 6:44 p.m. Saturday in the 1500 Block of F Street, Northeast, police arrived on the scene to find a man with a gunshot wound inside of a car, police said. DC Fire and Emergency Medical Services then responded to the scene and found that the victim displayed no signs consistent with life.

That victim has since been identified as 37-year-old Kenneth Harris of Northwest, D.C., police confirmed.

Police have not released any information on possible suspects.
