Arlington police are seeking the public’s help in locating a man accused of fatally shooting a District man Friday night in the Nauck neighborhood.

Adonis Wright, 35, died at George Washington University Hospital after police said he was shot during a dispute at about 11:20 p.m. Friday with Daejon Tyrie Jones, 23, of Woodbridge. The argument occurred in the 2400 block of South Lowell Street, a residential area, before Jones shot Wright, then fled the scene, police said.

Jones is considered armed and dangerous, police said, and asked the public to contact the Arlington police with any information on his whereabouts. Police spokeswoman Ashley Savage said this is the third homicide in Arlington this year.
