In the early morning hours of Tuesday, July 1, 2025, gunfire was reported on the 1800 block of E Street SE in Washington, D.C. Officers arriving at about 2:05 a.m. found 50-year-old Lawrence Meekins of Northwest D.C. on the ground with multiple gunshot wounds. DC Fire and Emergency Medical Services pronounced him dead at the scene after lifesaving efforts failed.

MPD’s Homicide Branch opened an investigation and released surveillance footage on July 4, 2025, showing a man on a scooter identified as a person of interest. A reward of up to $25,000 was offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible.

Does anyone have information about Meekins, the events on E Street SE that night, or the person on the scooter?
