A man working to curb the escalation of gun violence in Washington, D.C. was shot to death as he left his anti-violence training program, prompting a manhunt for his killer, friends of the victim and police said on Sunday.
Rosenberg said Venable began training three weeks ago to become a"violence interrupter" with"Cure the Streets," a pilot program launched in 2018 by the attorney general for the District of Columbia to prevent violence in some of the most crime-ridden neighborhoods in the nation's capital. Venable had just finished his training session when he left the alliance's headquarters on Debois Place Southeast in the Greenway neighborhood of the district at about 2 p.m. and was shot multiple times just feet from the front door, according to police.A $25,000 reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Venable's killer, who remained at large and unidentified on Sunday, police said.
"At this particular moment, he was someone really committed to changing, really committed to transforming his life, and transforming other lives in the community, people going down the path that he once went down," Rosenberg said. "He was just lying on the ground," Hardy told The Post."All I could do was stand there and look at him."
