Melvin Turner Jr. and Myron Morgan Jr. were both fatally shot in an alley next to 8 Evarts St. NE in Washington, D.C., on July 16, 2001, at about 10:25 p.m. The two young men died in the same violent encounter; the case remains an unsolved double homicide.

Early leads included reports of a small blue vehicle, possibly a Nissan Sentra, seen leaving the area around the time of the shootings. Investigators pursued that tip but public information indicates the trail went cold and no arrests have been announced. The Metropolitan Police Department has periodically reissued requests for public assistance and a reward has been offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

If anyone knew Turner Jr., Morgan Jr., or saw activity near 8 Evarts St. NE that night, please contact the Metropolitan Police Department with any details that could help move this long-open investigation forward?
