MAGA congressman’s intern killed by stray bullet from drive-by in DC

  • Eric Tarpinian-Jachym, a 21-year-old college student interning for Kansas Representative Ron Estes, died after being struck by a stray bullet in a drive-by shooting in downtown Washington D.C.
  • The incident occurred Monday evening near the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, where police found Tarpinian-Jachym unconscious with gunshot wounds.
  • Authorities believe Tarpinian-Jachym was an unintended victim caught in gunfire aimed at others, with multiple individuals reportedly exiting a vehicle and opening fire.
  • Two other victims, an unnamed woman and a 16-year-old boy, sustained non-life-threatening injuries in the shooting.
  • The shooters remain at large, and the Metropolitan Police Department is offering a $25,000 reward for information leading to their arrest and conviction.
