Dwayne Kat Barbour Sr., 39, was shot in Southeast Washington, D.C., on the evening of December 20, 2023. Police found him with critical gunshot wounds in the 2900 block of Knox Place around 8:55 p.m.; he was taken to a hospital and died of those injuries on the night of December 31, 2023. The Metropolitan Police Department’s Homicide Branch opened an investigation.

Court documents say detectives identified three young men alleged to be members of a crew called the On the Clock Gang. The papers describe a plan to rob Barbour of a Rolex in an apartment stairwell on Knox Place, and say a firearm was discharged during that robbery, resulting in his fatal injuries. The case records note arrests were made and the investigation is ongoing.

Barbour was remembered as a beloved family man whose death left friends and relatives grieving as the new year began. Does anyone who knew Dwayne or who was in the Knox Place area on December 20 have information that could help the investigation?
