Amid the Trump administration's sweeping crackdown on crime in the nation's capital, a woman was shot to death in broad daylight in northeast Washington, D.C. —an area most locals consider safe.

Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officers found a woman who was shot multiple times just after 11 a.m. Wednesday on the 3300 block of 15th Street. D.C. Fire and EMS took the unconscious woman to a local hospital where she was pronounced dead.

Homicide detectives are investigating, though no suspects have been identified.

President Donald Trump on Monday federalized the MPD under section 740 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, which allows the president to take emergency control of the police force for 30 days.
