Tavon Livingston was 17 when he was fatally shot the night of July 26, 2026, in Northwest Washington. Metropolitan Police Fourth District officers were dispatched at about 10:14 p.m. to the 3500 block of 10th Street NW after a report of gunfire; Livingston was found suffering from a gunshot wound, taken to a hospital by D.C. Fire and EMS, and pronounced dead. Reports differ on whether he was found inside a home or outside near the residence, but later accounts say he was killed inside the 10th Street house.

Livingston had left his family home earlier that day to spend time with friends. His mother, Latisha Howard, said doorbell-camera footage shows him walking away from the house, and that she later received a message from someone he had been with saying something had went left and providing an address that led to the area where he was shot. Police have not publicly disclosed a motive, the shooter’s identity, or whether those friends are witnesses or suspects. The Metropolitan Police continue to investigate under case number 26104602; a reward of up to $25,000 is being offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

Did anyone in the Columbia Heights or 10th Street NW area see Tavon or his group that night or have information about what happened inside the residence?
