On the evening of April 7, 2015, at about 7:08 PM, someone in the 500 block of Parkland Place SE in Congress Heights flagged down police after hearing gunfire and officers found 23-year-old Larry Wallace of Southeast with a gunshot wound. He was taken to a local hospital and later died of his injuries. The Metropolitan Police Department investigated but released few details at the time, and said this was the third fatal shooting in Southeast in a short span though they believed the incidents were unrelated.

Police canvassed the neighborhood and asked the public for help. If anyone in Congress Heights that night saw anything or has information about Larry Wallace’s death, please share what is known with the Metropolitan Police Department.
