"Thanks to the great work of The Justice Department and FBI, two suspects have been arrested in the murder of Capitol Hill intern Eric Tarpinian-Jachym," Patel wrote. He said the FBI Washington Field office led the investigation "and identification of the suspects and worked with the great men and women at MPD."
“We are delivering on President Trump’s promise to make DC safe again. AG Pam Bondi - thanks for bringing the full force of Main Justice to this crucial operation."
US Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro announced that the two suspects have been identified as Jalen Lucas and Kelvin Thomas Jr, both 17. The teens are being charged with first-degree murder and will be prosecuted as adults, per ABC News. Authorities are looking for a third suspect, who is also said to be a minor.
Tarpinian-Jachym had been an intern with Congressman Ron Estes of Kansas, and was a rising senior at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, studying finance with a minor in political science.
At around 10:30 pm on June 30, police responded to the 1200 block of 7th Street Northwest for reports of gunfire. They found three people suffering from gunshot wounds, including a 16-year-old boy, a woman, and an unconscious Tarpinian-Jachym. All three were transported to the hospital, where the intern was pronounced dead.
In a statement following the news of the intern’s death, Congressman Estes and his wife, Susan, said, “I will remember his kind heart and how he always greeted anyone who entered our office with a cheerful smile.”
