Late on the evening of Saturday, June 10, 2006, gunfire erupted in the 1300 block of Morris Road SE in Washington, D.C. Responding officers found 23-year-old Dontay Lamar Cunningham suffering from fatal gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead after the Metropolitan Police Department arrived at about 10:53 p.m. His death has been investigated by the Violent Crimes Branch, but the case remains unsolved.

No suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced. Detectives continue to investigate and the MPD is offering a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction. Dontay’s family has repeatedly appealed for anyone with details, however small, to come forward, and his memory is preserved in an online memorial where friends and relatives post photos and tributes.

If anyone knew Dontay, was in the area that night, or has information that could help, please contact the authorities.
