Shortly after 8:18 p.m. on March 31, 2005, gunfire in a Southeast Washington, D.C. neighborhood left 19-year-old Shawn Salim dead. Salim, a Black male from the 4000 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue SW, was found with a fatal gunshot wound to the head in the 2200 block of T Place SE. Emergency responders took him to George Washington University Hospital, where he died about thirty minutes later.

The Metropolitan Police Department’s Violent Crimes Branch opened a homicide investigation. Detectives have continued the inquiry, but no arrests have been announced and no suspects have been publicly identified. A reward of up to $25,000 is being offered for information that leads to an arrest and conviction.

Does anyone who lived or was in that area on the evening of March 31, 2005 remember seeing or hearing anything that might help investigators?
