Police set up a perimeter around the block and officers from the department’s Metropolitan Division searched the 14-story building for any suspects, he said.

After a 45-minute sweep of the building, investigators determined that the suspect had fled, Graham said. Police have talked to witnesses and are reviewing surveillance footage from the apartment building, he added.

The shooting remains under investigation, police said.
