WASHINGTON (DC News Now) -- The U.S. Attorney’s Office for D.C. said there is not enough evidence to charge a U.S. Park Police (USPP) officer for his involvement in the 2023 fatal shooting of 17-year-old Dalaneo Martin. On March 18, 2023, officers responded around 8:50 a.m. at 34th Street and Baker Street for a report of a suspicious vehicle. The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) and USSP Officers responded to the scene and saw Dalaneo Martin sleeping in the driver’s seat of the vehicle. MPD releases name of 17-year-old killed by US Park Police in Northeast DC Police said the vehicle had a license plate that belonged to another car and the ignition had been punched. While officers worked out how to get Martin out of the vehicle, he woke up and a struggle started. Martin then sped off with a USPP officer in the backseat of the car. While in the backseat, the officer told Martin to "stop." As Martin continued to drive, the officer told him “stop man, just let me out! Let me out! Stop or I’ll shoot.”  Not long later, the officer discharged five rounds at Martin, hitting him.

Martin died there. After an independent review, the D.C. U.S. Attorney's Office said there is not enough evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the USPP officer is criminally liable for Martin’s death.  In a statement, the D.C. U.S. Attorney's Office said, in part, that the office "remains committed to investigating allegations of excessive force by law enforcement officers and will continue to devote the resources necessary to ensure that all allegations of serious civil rights violations are investigated fully and completely." DC News Now reached out to Martin's family members and local organizations who have supported them in the months since the shooting. They were very emotional learning of the announcement from prosecutors Thursday and did not want to talk with reporters yet. DC News Now was told to expect a statement from the family's attorneys at some point.
