Devon Sharp was 16 and a high school sophomore when he was found with a gunshot wound on a sidewalk in the 1200 block of V Street NW, near the U Street nightlife corridor in Washington, D.C. Police discovered him just before 3:30 a.m. on May 18, 2024. He was taken to a hospital and died there on Monday, May 20, 2024; his grandmother was at his side when life support was removed.

Devon’s grandmother described him as a sweet and trusting child who loved football and basketball. The Metropolitan Police Department opened a homicide investigation and offered a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction. Detectives released surveillance images of a suspect and said the person was seen fleeing in a red Dodge Charger.

Does anyone who was in the U Street area the morning of May 18 have information that could help investigators?
