On September 25, 2023, around 3:38 p.m., 16-year-old Jamal Jones was shot in the 2300 block of Green Street Southeast in the Anacostia neighborhood of Washington, D.C. Officers from the Seventh District found him unconscious with gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities reported he had no fixed address at the time of the incident.

Detectives from the Metropolitan Police Department’s Homicide Branch investigated and released surveillance footage of a person of interest while asking the public for help. As of mid-October 2023, no arrests had been announced, and the department offered a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

If anyone in the neighborhood saw something that afternoon or can identify the person in the footage, the Homicide Branch would welcome that information.
