At approximately 6:15 p.m. on February 18, 2025, a Metropolitan Police Department officer was driving north in the 3400 block of Georgia Ave. NW in a marked police cruiser when another vehicle collided with him. The driver, later identified by MPD as 29-year-old Surafel Zerihun, approached the officer with a knife drawn and attempted to slash him through the open car window. In response, the officer drew his firearm and moved into the passenger seat while ordering Zerihun to step back. When Zerihun refused and lunged forward in another attempt to slash him, the officer discharged his weapon. Zerihun collapsed to the ground, prompting the officer to call for backup and request an ambulance. At one point, the suspect began stabbing himself with the knife. As additional units arrived, he attempted to enter the driver’s seat of another officer’s cruiser. When he was unable to drive away, he exited the vehicle and fled on foot along Georgia Ave. A second officer pursued him into a parking lot, where Zerihun tried to carjack a driver who was sitting in their vehicle. In response, the officer fired multiple shots. Zerihun was pronounced dead at the scene. 0:00 - Car crash 0:03 - Description of events 0:24 - Officer 1 bodycam 0:57 - First shooting 3:01 - Suspect tries to steal police car 4:02 - Final shooting 3:32 - Final shooting POV #DCPolice #PoliceShooting #WashingtonDC #BreakingNews #CrimeNews #GeorgiaAve #MPD #OfficerInvolvedShooting #Carjacking #PublicSafety #NewsUpdate #KnifeAttack #DCNews #MetroPolice #CrimeAlert #LawEnforcement #PoliceChase #SelfDefense #OfficerSafety #WashingtonDCCrime #LocalNews #EmergencyResponse #BreakingReport #CrimeScene #CommunitySafety #PoliceInvestigation #SuspectShot #AttemptedCarjacking #ArmedSuspect #NewsCoverage Disclaimer: The following content contains graphic scenes of violence that may be disturbing to some viewers.
