On the evening of Thursday, April 7, 2011, 16-year-old Raheem Jackson was found with multiple gunshot wounds in the 1300 block of Congress Street SE in Washington, D.C. Emergency services took him to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Raheem was a student at H.D. Woodson High School and a starting point guard on the basketball team; he was remembered as popular and talented in his community.

Reports said Raheem may have been trying to buy a gun for protection after a recent robbery. Police named an 18-year-old person of interest who had reportedly been expelled from an alternative high school, but authorities cautioned it was too early to call him a suspect. As of 2014 no arrests had been announced and the case remained open.

Hundreds attended a candlelight vigil and his funeral. Does anyone who knew Raheem or saw activity in the 1300 block of Congress Street SE on April 7, 2011, have information to share?
