A summer street brawl in Washington, D.C. turned fatal when 24-year-old Maurice Robinson was shot during an altercation on the evening of Monday, June 12, 2023. The fight began on the 2900 block of Southern Avenue Southeast and reportedly involved two groups; the dispute was said to have originated from an ongoing conflict involving a family member of the alleged shooter.

Surveillance footage captured the moment 46-year-old David Pena allegedly fired multiple shots at Robinson as the confrontation was de-escalating. Robinson suffered four gunshot wounds to his back and was taken to a local hospital by family members; he died the following day, June 13, 2023, from injuries that included damage to his aorta, trachea, and esophagus. Pena was arrested on June 13 and charged with second-degree murder while armed. His defense claimed he acted in defense of himself and his daughter, while prosecutors say Robinson was moving away when Pena fired; a judge found probable cause to proceed with charges, noting the defendant brought a gun to a fist fight and Robinson died because of it.

Does anyone have information about Maurice’s movements that evening or surveillance that might help clarify what happened?
