In the early morning hours of Sunday, February 2, 2025, officers from the Metropolitan Police Department responded to a shooting report on the 2400 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue Southeast. At about 3:03 a.m. they found 37-year-old Alem Medmim of Alexandria, Virginia, inside a vehicle with apparent gunshot wounds. D.C. Fire and Emergency Medical Services performed life-saving measures but Medmim was pronounced dead at the scene and his death was ruled a homicide.

The Homicide Branch opened an investigation and the department has asked the public for help. A reward of up to $25,000 has been offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible. No motive or suspects have been released and no arrests have been announced.

Does anyone who was in that area that night or who knew Medmim have information that could help investigators?
