On June 22, 2022, at about 1:11 a.m., 36-year-old Vernon Vedo Harrison was standing at a bus stop in the 2800 block of Alabama Avenue SE in Washington, D.C., when he was shot during what investigators say was an attempted robbery. Harrison was transported to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead.

Detectives identified two people in connection with the killing. On December 30, 2022, police arrested 29-year-old Antione Tucker and charged him with first-degree murder while armed. Investigators also implicated 29-year-old Nakia Pearson, who is accused of driving Tucker away from the scene and helping dispose of the weapon; prosecutors said items linked to Tucker were found in a search of Pearson’s car.

At a March 29, 2023 preliminary hearing a judge found probable cause connecting both Tucker and Pearson to Harrison’s death. The judge denied Tucker’s release request and ordered he remain detained; Pearson was released pending further proceedings. Did anyone in the neighborhood see or hear anything that morning?
