As previously reported, a 21-year-old intern for Republican Representative Ron Estes of Kansas was killed on Monday night in Washington, D.C..
Eric Tarpinian-Jachym, 21, who was a student at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, was shot and killed in Northwest Washington, D.C. on Monday night.
Police reported that the shooting occurred around 10:28 pm when a group of unidentified suspects fired shots at Tarpinian-Jachym and two others, which included a 16-year-old male and an adult female.
ABC News reported that investigators have stated the shooting was targeted, but Tarpinian-Jachym was not the intended target.
Two 17-year-olds were arrested for the murder of Eric Tarpinian-Jachym.
Per US Attorney General Pam Bondi:
On June 30th, Congressional intern Eric Tarpinian-Jachym was senselessly murdered in Washington, D.C.
Thanks to outstanding investigative work from FBI, two of his suspected killers were just arrested. If convicted, they will face severe justice.
We hope that this provides some measure of solace to his family.

Can she get an indictment in DC for killing a GOP staffer?
Is this the 1st murder since Trump sent in the National Guard?
What I was wondering.
June 30th was well before the guard appeared.
Two “Yutes” again.
“””June 30th was well before the guard appeared.”””
Yes, Confusing story. They make it sound like it happened Monday. But it was a few months ago. Journalism are hard.
So aside from age, they -- the "unidentified" -- weren't tall or short, male or female, wearing any identifiable clothing, or have any other characteristics? Beware, therefore of the "unidentified."
... and in no time at all -— “as Jalen Lucas and Kelvin Thomas Jr.”
Nice presser, seemed like Jeanine and Bowser had some good chemistry - that’s good.
Bad News: Unless Trump can find a way these kids get off scot-free, freed in a few years.
activist protesters screaming “we love our teen murderers” in 5...4....3.....
Take these two punks and give them both the death penalty
If convicted, they will face severe justice.
Cashless bond and told not to do it again judges even pointed his finger at the murderer.
Years ago, I reached out on this board looking for a place for my son to stay while he was interning for our congressman. Luckily, a lady on this board put us in touch with a lady in Arlington, VA where my son rented a room. So many of these interns aren’t paid (my son got $5,000) which covered his rent.
After Seth Rich, we came to understand how many of these kids live 4-5 to a small apartment inside of DC. Arlington is so much better.
They left out the part where these two, and another, attempted to assassinate two rival gang members. They jumped out of a car with rifles and pistols, and fired off over a hundred rounds, missing their targets, but injuring two, and killing one, bystanders.
Prison for life, although in DC there’s a good chance they’ll only get convicted of 2nd degree murder or even negligent homicide and be out in 7 years.

= = =
“indictment” in DC means getting a medal.
No, more like first arrests of the murder.
I doubt it. The scumbag DC juries have said it is okay to kill all of the Republicans you want. Do whatever you want to do to Republican Americans. We crap eating RATS have to stick together. We’ll never indict you.
