DeShaun Gladden, 22, was shot and killed in Southeast Washington, D.C., on the afternoon after Thanksgiving 2021. The shooting happened about 1:32 p.m. in the 2300 block of 25th Street SE; police found him with gunshot wounds and paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene.

Months earlier Gladden had faced a second-degree murder charge in the November 2020 death of 36-year-old Marcus Wallace, but prosecutors dropped that charge in September 2021 and Gladden was released. His father, Sean Thomas, said Gladden had been at the earlier scene but was not responsible and described him as a brilliant young man trying to rebuild his life. On the day he was killed Gladden was reportedly on his way to work.

The Metropolitan Police Department’s Homicide Branch is investigating; no suspect has been publicly identified and no arrest had been reported as of late 2021. A reward of up to $25,000 is being offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction. Can anyone with information about DeShaun Gladden’s death help investigators?
