A dispute between roommates in a Northeast Washington, D.C. apartment ended in a fatal shooting in the early morning hours of Friday, July 18, 2025. Officers responded to the 100 block of Fort Drive, Northeast, at about 12:15 a.m. after a disturbance was reported and found an adult male with an unspecified injury. He was later pronounced dead and identified as 41-year-old Allen Sharpshire, a resident of Northeast, D.C.

An autopsy by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner determined Sharpshire died of a gunshot wound, and his death was ruled a homicide. The Metropolitan Police Department announced a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction and asked anyone with knowledge to come forward.

The incident is described as domestic in nature. Does anyone in Northeast D.C. have information about the 100 block of Fort Drive on July 18, 2025, or about Allen Sharpshire’s movements that night?
