WASHINGTON — Police are seeking a person of interest in connection with the stray-gunfire death of an American University graduate. Investigators say 19-year-old Andre Dudley is also wanted for second-degree burglary.

Matthew Shlonsky, 23, of Northeast D.C. was struck by a stray bullet on Aug. 15 in D.C.’s Shaw neighborhood. Dudley, who police say should be considered armed and dangerous, is being sought as a person of interest in the investigation.

Another man wanted in connection with Shlonsky’s shooting, 19-year-old Marcus King, turned himself in to police on Aug. 21. An arrest warrant charges King with second-degree murder while armed.

Police say Dudley also faces charges in connection to a burglary on Aug. 12 in the 4200 block of Argyle Terrace, Northeast.
