On Wednesday, July 7, 2004, at about 1:15 p.m., gunfire erupted inside a residence in the 210 block of 53rd Street NE in Washington, D.C. Twenty-six-year-old Tiffane Jefferson and a man named Herman Dorsey were both found fatally shot by a relative. Their deaths were investigated by the Metropolitan Police Department, which appealed for tips at the time.

Tiffane was a mother to her son, Xavion A. Jefferson, and is survived by her parents Sonja L. and Justin L. Jefferson and siblings Maya J. Jefferson and Kristian M. Jefferson. Friends remembered her as vibrant, with a smile and laugh that brightened people’s days. No suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced; the case later grew cold.

Does anyone have information about Tiffane’s life in northeast Washington or about the events on 53rd Street NE that afternoon?
