In the early morning hours of November 11, 2016, gunfire in the 3000 block of Stanton Road Southeast left two young men dead on the steps of the Stanton Glen Apartment complex. Officers arrived around 1:27 a.m. and found 25-year-old Samuelle Buie and 19-year-old Rassaan Jennings unconscious and not breathing. Both were transported to separate hospitals and later pronounced dead.

The shooting also damaged nearby homes and vehicles, underlining how chaotic the scene was. Police opened a homicide investigation, canvassed the neighborhood for witnesses, and offered a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction. As of late November 2016, no motive had been released and no suspects or arrests had been publicly identified.

If anyone knew Samuelle Buie, his movements that night, or saw suspicious activity near Stanton Glen Apartments on November 11, 2016, please come forward with information.
