Eighteen-year-old Gregory Kirkland was killed in a midday drive-by shooting on November 28, 2005, while standing with several other young men in the 1300 block of First Street SW, across from a city recreation center in Southwest Washington, D.C. A dark green Lincoln Continental drove by around 12:30 p.m. and someone inside opened fire. Kirkland was struck in the arm and body and later died at Washington Hospital Center. Two other teenagers, ages 19 and 17, were wounded and taken to hospitals.

Police described the incident as a random drive-by. Investigators reported finding plastic bags containing drugs at the scene, and the Metropolitan Police Department opened a homicide investigation. As of the latest listing on the department’s unsolved homicides for 2005, no arrests have been announced and no suspects have been publicly identified.

Did anyone in the neighborhood or who knew Gregory see the dark green Lincoln Continental that afternoon or notice anything unusual around the recreation center?
