A Congressional intern was shot and killed in Washington, D.C. on Monday night.

Eric Tarpinian-Jachym, a 21-year-old student from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, was shot on Monday night at about 10:28 p.m. on the 1200 block of 7th Street, Northwest in Washington, D.C., as reported by police, and succumbed to his injuries on Tuesday. Additionally, a woman and a 16-year-old boy were shot and transported to nearby hospitals.

The Metropolitan Police Department reported that several people emerged from a vehicle and began shooting at a crowd. Investigators do not believe that Tarpinian-Jachym was the intended target of the incident.

“I will always cherish his kind nature and how he pleasantly welcomed everyone who stepped into our office with a bright smile,” Estes commented. “We appreciate Eric’s dedication to Kansas’ 4th District and the nation. Please join Susan and me in extending prayers for his family and honoring their privacy during this difficult period.”

Phillip Peterson, one of Tarpinian-Jachym’s friends, told Fox News Digital that he “was a very easy-going person to be around.”

“We met in early January and we really started to hit things off,” Peterson said. “After the program we discussed becoming roommates, but I didn’t want to move back to D.C. because I despise the culture so much. Unfortunately that fell through. I legitimately do regret now not going back to D.C. just so I could have spent more time with my friend.”

Tarpinian-Jachym also participated in a spring fellowship with The Fund for American Studies, which said the college student’s hometown is Aberdeen, Mississippi.

The Metropolitan Police Department is offering a $25,000 reward for anyone who provides information leading to an arrest and conviction, and are encouraged to contact (202) 727-9099.
