On a Saturday night in November 2022, 18-year-old Jackson-Reed High School senior Akira Wilson told her mother she was going to the movies with a friend. Hours later she was found fatally shot inside a room at the Hilton Garden Inn in Northeast Washington, D.C. Police responded after a report of a gunshot around 9:50 p.m. on November 19 and discovered Wilson deceased from a gunshot wound.

Wilson also attended courses at Trinity Washington University and was described by her family as ambitious and hardworking. She sold candy to raise money and hoped to study mortuary science and open a funeral home. The family believes she had been invited to a party at the hotel by a coworker and has publicly voiced suspicion that a friend’s boyfriend was involved.

Police have not charged anyone with Akira Wilson’s murder. Did anyone who knew Akira or who was at the Hilton Garden Inn that night see or hear anything that could help investigators?
