    A bloody Saturday morning in the District saw three people killed and four others wounded in multiple shootings as well as a stabbing attack that left two people injured.

    The separate incidents erupted over a six-hour period early Saturday when Metropolitan Police officers were rushing to crime scenes in various neighborhoods throughout Northeast and Southeast.

    Authorities so far have only made one arrest following the jolt of violence.

    Police reported the first shooting just after 1 a.m. when a man and a teen were shot and killed on the unit block of M Street Northeast. A man and a woman were also injured by gunfire, and are expected to survive.

    MPD identified the two slain victims as Antonio Williams, 33, of Capitol Heights, Maryland, and Terrell Osbourne Jr., 18, of Northwest.

    Authorities said they are looking for a white 2019 Honda Accord in connection to the shooting.

    Minutes later, police said a man and a woman were stabbed on the 1600 block of Eckington Place Northeast just a few blocks north.

    Both victims are expected to survive, police said, and a suspect is in custody but wasn’t named by authorities.

    Authorities said gunshots rang out on the 800 block of H Street Northeast around 1:30 a.m., but no victims were seen in the area. Police reported later that a woman took herself to a hospital for non-life-threatening gunshot injuries.

    A similar incident played out in Southeast shortly afterward — police said they were called about a shooting on the 2800 block of Hartford Street Southeast, but no victim was at the scene. MPD said they eventually learned a man was being treated for a gunshot wound at a hospital.

    The spate of violence concluded with a deadly shooting by an Anacostia apartment complex in Southeast.

    Police said they found Davon Mangum, 38, of Southeast, lying dead in the parking lot around 6:45 a.m. on the 1500 block of Butler Street Southeast.

    MPD shared an image of a suspect, which shows a man with dark complexion wearing a black hooded jacket, sunglasses, black pants and black shoes.
