Robbery gone bad? Walking in the wrong place at the wrong time?

He was basically killed in his backyard only several houses away. To all of you writing here he was one of our neighbors who had dreams who wanted the best for his family and nobody mentions that. To know him personally was a blessing, he took life so seriously and lost it so senselessly. SON YOU WILL ALWAYS BE LOVED AND MISSED!!!

No further details about the motive, and apparently no arrests, as the article says MPD is seeking information from the public about the killing.

Even still- a homicide is a surprise for this neighborhood. It wasn’t that late when this happened either- only about 11pm when we heard the gunshots. Sad sad sad.

How is the community failing its fellow citizens so badly.

Neighbors- I regret to report that MPD is on the scene of a fatal shooting. A victim of gun violence, a 20-year old male died at the scene of the shooting in the 100 Block of Jefferson St NW. MPD is currently investigating and the following areas are closed: the 5500 block of 1st street N.W. and the 100 block of Jefferson street N.W. in both directions.

There’s been a liquor-bottle’n'teddy-bear shrine in the unit block of Kennedy with some dudes in folding chairs ‘guarding’ it every night for at least the last month or two.
