On the evening of November 20, 2023, 29-year-old Gary Lavon Love III was shot in the Bellevue neighborhood of Washington, D.C. Authorities say the shooting occurred at about 9:30 p.m. in the 4600 block of South Capitol Street SW after Love left a convenience store. Officers found him on the sidewalk with a critical gunshot wound; he was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead the following day.

A court affidavit describes that Love and 21-year-old Roy Jordan were in the store but did not appear to interact. Jordan allegedly followed Love outside and opened fire; Love reportedly returned fire before collapsing. Police initially thought a second man found in nearby Prince George’s County had been shot, but later determined his injuries occurred while fleeing.

On December 1, 2023, the Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force arrested Roy Jordan; he was charged with first-degree murder while armed. A separate man, 33-year-old Donell Thomas, was later charged as an accessory after the fact for allegedly helping Jordan evade capture.

Did anyone in the Bellevue area see or hear anything that night that could help this investigation?
