The man found shot and killed near Catholic University in D.C. has been identified.
Ruben Jesus Munoz-Romero, 38, was found shot near Catholic University in Northeast D.C. Monday night, prompting a temporary lockdown of its campus.
Officers responded to a report saying Munoz-Romero suddenly collapsed while riding a moped on Michigan Avenue near the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception at about 8 p.m., according to D.C. police.
When officers arrived, they realized he had been shot, putting the university on lockdown.
