A late summer dispute in Northeast Washington, D.C., ended in fatal gunfire. Brent Hayward, 33, of Gainesville, Virginia, was shot and killed on Saturday, August 12, 2023, in the 1500 block of Kenilworth Avenue NE. Officers arriving about 10:44 p.m. found two men with gunshot wounds; Hayward showed no signs of life and was pronounced dead at the scene. A second victim was taken to a hospital with life-threatening injuries.

Detectives identified 30-year-old Christopher Patrick Haynes as the primary suspect. Investigators say an initial verbal and physical altercation between Haynes and the victims led Haynes to drive away and then return. After a second confrontation, Haynes allegedly retrieved a firearm, threatened the victims, left again, parked a white Dodge Durango at a nearby church, walked back and opened fire. Haynes was arrested on September 6 and charged with first-degree murder; he briefly escaped custody while at George Washington University Hospital and was later recaptured.

Does anyone have information about that block of Kenilworth Avenue or witnessed the events on the night of August 12, 2023?
