On the evening of June 6, 2023, gunfire erupted at a Shell station on South Capitol Street SE in Washington, D.C. Officers arriving around 6:37 p.m. found 29-year-old Joshua White suffering multiple gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene. His death was recorded as the city’s 100th homicide that year.

Investigators say White had been riding a Veo bike in the station parking lot when he was struck in a drive-by shooting. A black Honda was identified as a vehicle of interest after witnesses reported seeing a car leave the scene shortly after the shots. Police later arrested 22-year-old Korriek Akinola of Southeast D.C. and charged him with First Degree Murder while Armed, alleging a plan that involved spotting White, switching vehicles to a stolen black Honda Accord, changing plates, and returning to open fire.

The case remains a focal point for the community and for those following D.C. violence statistics. If anyone saw the events at the Shell station that evening or has information about the vehicles involved, please come forward.
