On the morning of October 21, 2023, gunfire erupted on the 900 block of U Street Northwest in Washington, D.C. At about 3:38 a.m., officers found 24-year-old Diamonte Tyziah Lewis suffering from gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Diamonte, born October 10, 1999, is described as a son, brother, and friend who loved rapping, music, dancing, basketball and football.

Metropolitan Police released video of a suspected gunman and asked the public for help identifying the individual. In December 2023, police charged a 16-year-old from Alexandria, Ashton Inabinet, with second-degree murder while armed; court documents note a witness said a fight occurred just before the shots were fired. In February 2024, authorities arrested 20-year-old Na e em Butler of Herndon, Virginia, on a second charge of second-degree murder while armed after extradition from State College, Pennsylvania. No official motive has been released.

If anyone knew Diamonte, saw activity on U Street that night, or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
