Washington recorded its first homicide since Aug. 13 early Tuesday, ending a nearly two-week stretch without a killing that officials had attributed to a Trump-ordered surge of federal law-enforcement personnel and National Guard troops in the nation’s capital. At a Cabinet meeting the same day, President Donald Trump said the administration will seek capital punishment for anyone convicted of murder in the District of Columbia. The district has not carried out executions since Congress overturned its death-penalty statute in 1981, following the Supreme Court’s 1972 Furman v. Georgia decision that struck down existing capital-punishment laws. Trump’s crackdown, unveiled on Aug. 11, placed about 800 National Guard troops under federal command and pulled agents from the FBI, U.S. Marshals Service and other agencies into the city. According to U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, the operation has resulted in more than 1,000 arrests and produced 12 consecutive days without a homicide before Tuesday’s shooting. Mayor Muriel Bowser told reporters Wednesday that the additional federal officers have helped suppress violent crime but called the continued deployment of National Guard forces “not an efficient use of those resources.” Neighborhood responses remain mixed, with some residents welcoming the heightened police presence and others questioning its focus and long-term effectiveness.
