Washington, D.C.’s Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) confirmed to Fox News Digital on Thursday that there has not been a homicide in the city in more than a week.

“[T]here have been no recorded homicides in the city for the past week,” said Public Information Officer Michael Russo via email. “Our last recorded homicide was August 13th.”

The homicide-free week comes after President Donald Trump’s federalization of the D.C. police on Aug. 11, as federal law enforcement arrests skyrocket.

Attorney General Pam Bondi said on X Thursday morning that federal law enforcement made 53 arrests in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday, and 24 more arrests were made by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Two juveniles from Maryland were arrested in the incident, and more suspects remain at large.

Before that, congressional intern Eric Tarpinian-Jachym, 21, was shot June 30 on the 1200 block of 7th Street, Northwest. He died a day later. He was a student at the University of Massachusetts – Amherst and was interning for Rep. Ron Estes, R-Kan.

Several people exited a vehicle and began firing shots. The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) said Tarpinian-Jachym was not the target of the shooting. 

Nobody has been arrested in connection with that killing.
