In the early morning hours of June 20, 2024, a dispute in the 4400 block of Hunt Place NE escalated into a fatal shooting that took the life of 21-year-old Marcellus Jackson. Metropolitan Police officers who responded to a report of a shooting at about 3:21 a.m. found Jackson in the roadway; he had sustained a gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police quickly identified and arrested 32-year-old Antonio Johnson, who was reported to have no fixed address. Johnson was charged with second-degree murder while armed. Investigators say the shooting followed a verbal argument between Johnson and Jackson outside an apartment building.

Does anyone have information about what led to the argument or about Jackson’s movements that night?
