DNA evidence has linked two teenagers to the fatal shooting of a University of Massachusetts student who was working as a congressional intern in Washington, DC, according to prosecutors.

The DNA evidence was reportedly found on shell casings recovered from the crime scene, prosecutors alleged in court proceedings. The victim was a University of Massachusetts student who had been serving as a congressional intern at the time of the shooting.

The incident occurred last summer in Washington, DC, though specific details about the circumstances of the shooting have not been fully disclosed. Multiple teenagers have been charged in connection with the case.

Prosecutors presented the DNA evidence as they build their case against the suspects. The forensic evidence allegedly connects at least two of the charged individuals to the crime scene through genetic material found on ammunition casings.

The case involves the intersection of gun violence in the nation's capital with the congressional internship program, which brings students from across the country to work in government offices. The victim's status as both a university student and congressional intern has drawn attention to the case.

Further details about the investigation and legal proceedings are expected to emerge as the case moves through the court system.
