A drive-by shooting in Southeast Washington, D.C. left two men dead on March 12, 2023. A vehicle carrying 34-year-old Othaniel Gaither and two other men was pursued and deliberately fired upon over several blocks, from 11th Street SE and M Street to Pennsylvania Avenue, before the targeted SUV crashed in the 500 block of 11th Street SE.

Gaither and another man, Hamza Halaoh, were found in the SUV with fatal gunshot wounds; a third occupant suffered non-life-threatening injuries and later cooperated with investigators. Police recovered one firearm at the scene and say there is no evidence of return fire. Authorities believe at least one occupant was deliberately targeted and that the shooters fled in a separate vehicle. No arrests have been announced and the Metropolitan Police Department has offered a substantial reward for information leading to arrest and conviction.

Does anyone who was in the area that evening or who knew Othaniel have information that could help investigators?
