On the evening of Monday, January 29, 2024, 35-year-old Alberto Vasquez Jr. was shot while standing by a car with a female companion in the 300 block of N Street, Northeast, Washington, D.C. An armed man demanded their keys and then shot Vasquez before fleeing in the vehicle. Vasquez was taken to a local hospital and died of his injuries. His family described him as a charismatic, outgoing father of two who enjoyed life in the D.C. area.

Police later linked the killing to a broader crime spree that began earlier that evening. Investigators say 28-year-old Artell Cunningham of Suitland, Maryland, shot and critically wounded a former Trump administration official, Mike Gill, during an attempted carjacking on K Street, engaged in multiple attempted or successful carjackings, and fired on an MPD cruiser on I-295. The vehicle taken from Vasquez was recovered in a park in Prince George’s County. The spree ended after an encounter with New Carrollton officers in the 7500 block of Annapolis Road that resulted in an officer-involved shooting and the death of the suspect.

Who has information about Vasquez, his movements that evening, or the confrontation on N Street?
