One of the men accused of killing a congressional intern in Washington, D.C.<\/a>, allegedly killed a teen girl just days later, according to police.<\/p>\n

Eric Tarpinian-Jachym, 21, was interning for Rep. Ron Estes, R-Kan. in Washington, D.C., when he was shot on June 30, officials said. He died in a hospital the next day. The Metropolitan Police Department<\/a> said the shooting happened on the 1200 block of 7th Street NW. On July 4, authorities said 17-year-old Zoey Kelley was killed in a fatal shooting.<\/p>\n

After being named as a suspect in the murder of Tarpinian-Jachym, the Metropolitan Police Department announced on Friday that Naqwan Lucas was also charged in the murder of Kelly<\/a>. He was indicted on charges of premeditated first degree murder while armed.<\/p>\n

Police responded to a “call for trouble” inside a Washington, D.C., home and found Kelley unconscious after suffering a gunshot wound. She was pronounced dead at the scene of the shooting.<\/p>\n

Lucas has not yet been arrested and is still on the run.<\/p>\n

Jailen Lucas and Kelvin Thomas Jr. were both arrested<\/a> in connection with the killing of Tarpinian-Jachym, U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro announced in early September.<\/p>\n

Lucas and Thomas have violent records in family court, Pirro said, noting that they are juveniles.<\/p>\n

During a news conference in September, Metropolitan Police Department Chief Pamela Smith said she’s confident Lucas will be arrested.<\/p>\n

“These two arrests, and a third one pending \u2013 I’m confident we’ll get the third one \u2013 give Eric’s loved ones some sense of peace as they continue to grieve a tremendous loss. Eric came to our city with a bright future ahead of him interning in a role where he served the public on Capitol Hill. He deserved an opportunity to return home safely to his family but was senselessly taken from his loved ones,” Smith said.<\/p>\n

Police said a woman and 16-year-old boy were shot but survived the July 1 shooting that left Tarpinian-Jachym dead.<\/p>\n

In an earlier interview with Fox News Digital, Tamara Jachym, Tarpinian-Jachym’s mother, said that police need to arrest the individuals responsible because “they will do it again.”<\/p>\n

“I think Eric felt safe. It was early at night. He was in a decent area and this happened. And it’s a shame. And you know, Eric was the 85th victim and now we have an 86<\/a>,” she added, referring to the number of homicides in Washington, D.C., at the time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
