Teenager Among 5 Slain Within 27 Hours By Susan LevineWashington Post Staff Writer

The weekend's death toll in the District continued to climb yesterday, with a pair of shootings bringing the total to five homicides in 27 hours. In the last, a Clinton teenager was killed and a 15-year-old girl charged with manslaughter.
D.C. police said Airrion Johnson, 16, died after being shot about 3 a.m. in a first-floor apartment in the 800 block of R Street NW. Several people were in the apartment when there was a struggle over a handgun, which then discharged, according to the preliminary police investigation. Johnson, who was hit in the chest, ran into the street and collapsed. He was pronounced dead at Washington Hospital Center.
Officers were trying to identify and find the young man believed to have brought the gun to the apartment, said Sgt. Joe Gentile, a police spokesman. Authorities asked anyone with information to call detectives at 202-727-9099. The name of the 15-year-old was not released because she was charged as a juvenile. Three hours earlier, a deliveryman for Oriental Express restaurant in Southeast was found bleeding in his car at Savannah Street and Ridgecrest Court SE. Gentile said Ling Mao, 36, of Bowie had been shot once in the chest. He was pronounced dead at Washington Hospital Center.
Police have not determined a motive in Mao's killing, Gentile said.
Between midnight Friday and 3 a.m. yesterday, the District recorded three fatal shootings and two deadly stabbings, bringing the year's homicides to 131.
The name of the first victim, found stabbed to death in the 300 block of Kentucky Avenue SE, had not been released as of yesterday pending notification of relatives.
Police did, however, identify the stabbing victim found mid-morning Saturday in a car at First and N streets NE as Brian Harris, 55, of Lusby.
