       Police identified the victim Sunday as Marcus Vines, 37, of Northeast Washington. Efforts to reach his family were unsuccessful.

       Authorities had not made an arrest in his killing as of Monday.

       The shooting comes as authorities in the District are under intense pressure to curb crime, with the pace of deadly violence surging over the past 12 months in D.C. as it dropped in other cities across the country.
