Dawann Tyrik Saunders, 30, was killed in a late-evening shooting on Monday, November 22, 2021. Police found Saunders in a parking lot in the 4700 block of South Capitol Street SE at about 10:17 p.m.; he had multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene despite aid from DC Fire and Emergency Medical Services.

Surveillance from a convenience store on the 4600 block of South Capitol Street SW captured Saunders in an altercation with another man, later identified as 21-year-old Lloyd Patterson-Ross, among a group of people. The footage and subsequent investigation indicate the dispute involved a bag, at least two people displayed handguns, and the encounter ended with a foot chase during which Saunders was shot multiple times. A second adult male sustained a non-life-threatening gunshot wound and was taken to a hospital.
