Shortly before dawn on February 23, 2024, gunfire broke the pre-dawn quiet in the 6200 block of Dix Street NE in Washington, D.C. Officers from the Sixth District arrived about 5:16 a.m. and found 35-year-old Ronald Clark of Capitol Heights, Maryland, suffering from gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene. A second shooting victim was located nearby in the 300 block of 63rd Street NE and taken to a hospital with injuries.

The Metropolitan Police Department’s Homicide Branch handled the investigation for several months. On February 20, 2025, a federal booking order led to the arrest of 41-year-old Victor Terrill of Seat Pleasant, Maryland; he was charged with First Degree Murder while Armed and Assault with a Dangerous Weapon in connection with the incident that killed Clark and wounded the other man.

Anyone with information about Ronald Clark, the shootings on Dix Street NE and 63rd Street NE, or the events that morning is asked to come forward.
