A late-afternoon dispute in Brentwood, Northeast Washington, D.C., turned fatal on July 30, 2023. Terence Akindo, 24, was shot in the 2300 block of 13th Place NE and taken to a hospital, where life-saving efforts failed. He sustained gunshot wounds to the head and chest.

Police arrested 37-year-old Anthony Green the next day and charged him with first-degree murder while armed. Court filings and witness testimony describe an ongoing conflict between the men; some accounts say the confrontation began after Akindo confronted Green’s girlfriend over an alleged $200 marijuana debt. An eyewitness later identified Green.

A judge found probable cause to charge Green. Defense attorneys have attacked witness credibility and criticized police handling, including the loss of the victim’s car. Green was ordered held in custody and the case is set for trial in March 2025. If anyone knew Terence or saw the incident, please share what might help the investigation.
