It was unclear whether the three people were in the car at the time of the shooting or the crash. It was also not known whether the shooting caused the crash or happened afterward, she said.

Police received calls about the shooting shortly before 3 a.m., and Vermont Avenue remained closed Sunday morning as the investigation continued.
