Kevin Andre Washington was found fatally shot in the early hours of April 10, 2011, in the 100 block of Irving Street NW, near the Washington Hospital Center. Officers responded to an initial report of a pedestrian struck at about 12:21 a.m. and discovered Washington in the road with apparent gunshot wounds. He was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead shortly after arrival. Investigators said it was unclear whether he had been shot at that location or moved there after being wounded.

Kevin was 20 years old. His death was the sixth homicide in the city in a matter of days, although police said there was no indication his killing was connected to the others. The family noted a tragic echo: his father, also named Kevin Andre Washington, had been shot and killed in the city in the fall of 1994 at age 31. The Metropolitan Police Department’s Homicide Branch appealed for public help; no arrests or identified suspects have been reported.
