On the night of May 23, 2002, 21-year-old Daniel Dimoh was found dead in a second-floor apartment at the Franklin Commons complex, 105 Franklin Street NE, in Northeast Washington, D.C. Police discovered Dimoh alongside two other young men, 25-year-old Mitchell Johnson and 21-year-old Elvon Miller, each suffering multiple gunshot wounds to the head and body. The scene was described as exceedingly bloody and all three were pronounced dead in the early hours of May 24.

Neighbors described the community as usually quiet and peaceful, but some residents had reported increased unusual activity and break-ins in the weeks before the killings and had noticed heavy traffic in and out of the building where the shootings occurred. No suspects or arrests have been publicly identified, and a reward of up to $75,000 has been offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

If anyone knew Daniel, Mitchell, or Elvon, or observed activity at Franklin Commons around May 23, 2002, please contact the authorities with information.
