Delante McCray was a 20-year-old Black man who was fatally shot around 12:10 p.m. on Monday, January 30, 2006, in the 500 block of Lamont Street NW in Washington, D.C. His family had moved to a nearby Maryland suburb but Delante had returned to his old neighborhood to visit friends. A black sport-utility vehicle was reported following the group and stopped at a cross street shortly before more than a dozen gunshots were heard.

Emergency responders found Delante wounded; a neighbor who worked as a nurse’s assistant administered CPR but Delante died at the scene. Two other teenagers were also injured in the shooting. The Metropolitan Police Department’s Violent Crimes Branch lists the case as an unsolved homicide; no arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced. A reward of up to $25,000 is being offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

If anyone was in the area that afternoon or knows anything about the SUV or the shooting, please come forward with information.
