On May 4, 2022, 24-year-old Davon Sullivan was shot and killed in the 2300 block of Green Street Southeast in the Anacostia neighborhood of Washington, D.C. Police were called about 3:39 p.m. for a reported shooting. Officers found Sullivan unconscious and unresponsive with multiple gunshot wounds; D.C. Fire and EMS found no signs of life and he was later pronounced dead and taken to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.

Detectives say video of the incident shows Sullivan walking away from an argument when another individual began shooting at him and continued firing after Sullivan had fallen to the ground. That footage was described as undermining any claim of self-defense. Investigators arrested 31-year-old Raheem Gafari on May 17, 2022, and charged him with first-degree murder while armed. A judge ordered Gafari to remain in jail pending trial, finding substantial probability he committed the crime.

If anyone saw the argument or has information about the shooting on Green Street Southeast, please come forward to investigators.
