Washington D.C.'s chief of police is offering a reward of up to $25,000 to anyone who can help identify the person who opened fire after a downtown street festival, killing a 15-year-old boy and wounding three other people, including a police officer.

The deadly shooting happened Sunday night as police were trying to shut down an informal Juneteenth event known as Moechella, which celebrates Black culture and a genre of music known as go-go that originated on the streets of the nation's capital.

"The person who took Chase's life and brought this violence to our community must be held accountable," Metropolitan Police Department Chief Robert J. Contee III said in a statement Monday.

Contee did not divulge the last name of the slain teenager, nor did he update the conditions of the MPD officer, who was shot in the leg, and the two other shooting survivors.

As of Sunday evening, all were in stable condition in area hospitals.
