On March 15, 2022, 37-year-old Nikia Young was walking near Minnesota Avenue and 23rd Street Southeast in Washington, D.C., when a man approached in the crosswalk and opened fire at close range. The attacker fired seven shots, striking Young five times in the face, chest and hip. Emergency responders took her to a nearby hospital, where her wounds proved fatal.

Witnesses said the shooter fled on foot and caught the same Metro bus he had exited moments earlier. Homicide detectives from the Metropolitan Police Department took over the investigation and identified a suspect, Johnwann Elliott. At the time of the shooting Elliott was on supervised release for a prior robbery conviction and was facing a separate pending charge for unauthorized use of a vehicle. A motive reported by witnesses involved an accusation that Young had taken a handgun from Elliott after he allegedly waved it toward her head.

Are there witnesses or anyone who remembers seeing the bus or activity around Minnesota Avenue and 23rd Street SE that afternoon?
