D.C. police are investigating a homicide that occurred early Saturday morning.

A man identified as 23-year-old Delwaun Lyons was shot in the 3000 block of 30th Street SE, police said.

Officials responded about 3:45 a.m. to a report of the shooting. When they arrived, they found an adult male victim unconscious, unresponsive and shot multiple times. Lyons was pronounced dead at a hospital.

An earlier version of this story incorrectly reported that a man named George Hendrix also was slain in the city in Saturday. He was killed in June but police recently released surveillance video of a possible suspect.
