Two separate fatal shootings in Southeast Washington, D.C., involved men with nearly identical names but different ages and circumstances. Sixteen-year-old Traevon Green was riding a motorbike with another teenager on the 2200 block of Alabama Avenue SE on the evening of March 21, 2023, when occupants of a stolen car opened fire. He was struck and pronounced dead at the scene; the passenger survived with serious injuries. Investigators have described the attack as targeted, but no motive has been made public. A stolen Kia Optima believed to have been used was found burning hours later in the 2800 block of Pomeroy Road SE, and video from nearby Metro buses has been reviewed, but no arrests have been announced.

A separate, unrelated fatal shooting occurred the morning of May 5, 2022, when 33-year-old Treyvon Green was found inside a residence on the 2300 block of Green Street SE with gunshot wounds and pronounced dead at the scene. That incident followed the killing of another man, Davon Sullivan, on the same block less than 24 hours earlier; police have not said whether the two events are connected. No suspects have been publicly identified in Treyvon Green’s death, and the Homicide Branch has offered a reward for information. If anyone knew either man or has information that could help investigators, please come forward.
