On the afternoon of September 9, 2023, 21-year-old Jordan Bianca Coates was found on the 1200 block of Duncan Place NE in Washington, D.C., suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Officers arrived at about 3:13 p.m.; D.C. Fire and Emergency Medical Services transported her to a hospital, where she later died. The shooting was investigated as a domestic dispute.

Police identified 24-year-old Damion Brown of Southeast D.C. as a suspect who barricaded himself inside a nearby apartment before surrendering and being taken into custody the same day. He was arrested and charged with second-degree murder while armed. Court hearings in November 2023 established probable cause to proceed, with testimony mentioning security-camera footage that did not show the shooting and defense questions about the victim’s conduct prior to the incident. Brown was said to have been on a GPS monitor at the time of the offense.

If anyone has information about Jordan, her movements that afternoon, or the events at the apartment complex, please come forward.
