A summer shooting in Southeast Washington, D.C. claimed the life of 34-year-old Pamela Taylor. On the evening of Friday, July 14, 2023, Taylor, who lived in Northeast D.C., was in the 100 block of Atlantic Street Southeast when she was struck by gunfire. Gravely wounded, she went to a nearby fire station and was transported by emergency medical services to a local hospital, where she later died.

The Metropolitan Police Department’s Homicide Branch has classified the death as a homicide and opened an investigation. Investigators are seeking information about a black Jeep Wrangler and a black Dodge Charger seen in the area around the time of the shooting; those vehicles were reportedly last observed heading toward Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue Southeast. A reward of up to $25,000 is being offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

If anyone knew Pamela Taylor or saw those vehicles or activity on Atlantic Street Southeast that night, please share what was seen with the Metropolitan Police.
