Tejuan Coleman, 31, was shot while riding in a rideshare in Southeast Washington, D.C., late on Friday, December 22, 2023. Shortly before midnight, another car pulled alongside the rideshare on Stanton Road Southeast and opened fire. The driver of the rideshare was not physically harmed and drove directly to the First District station, where Coleman succumbed to multiple gunshot wounds inside the station.

Officers had also been called to reports of gunfire in the 3000 block of Stanton Road SE around 11:16 p.m., and police later identified the victim as Tejuan Vito Coleman of Southeast D.C. Family memorial pages and a fundraising campaign describe him as a son and father mourned by his community. The Metropolitan Police Department’s Homicide Branch has handled the investigation, issued public appeals and offered a reward of up to $25,000 for information; no arrests or suspect identifications have been announced.

If anyone saw the cars that night, heard the shooting, or has information about the ambush on Stanton Road, please share what you know with investigators.
