哥伦比亚特区大都会警察局10月29日通报，一名66岁的华盛顿东北区男子已被逮捕，并被控持械二级谋杀，涉嫌与10月初一起命案有关。被捕男子为约翰·史密斯，10月28日由首都地区区域逃犯工作组执行逮捕，逮捕依据为特区高等法院签发的逮捕令，案件涉及10月3日遇害的65岁东北区居民罗德尼·贝内特。
警方调查始于10月3日晚7时07分左右，当时第六警区警员接到报告，前往东北区45街100号街区一处公寓，发现一名失去意识的男子，后确认死亡。警方没有公开涉嫌使用的具体武器、致命伤的具体情形，也没有公开嫌疑人与受害人之间可能的关系。警方表示，尽管已经逮捕一人，这起凶杀案的调查仍在进行中，被告在司法程序中仍被推定无罪，相关指控须经司法程序认定。警方呼吁知情者提供线索，协助完成调查。
