On the evening of October 6, 2021, 20-year-old Rufus Davis was shot and killed on the Unit Block of O Street Northwest in Washington, D.C., after an argument outside a senior apartment building. The dispute involved 43-year-old Marcha Johnson and continued for several minutes near Johnson’s vehicle. As Davis turned to get away, Johnson shot him twice in the back, and after he fell, fired two final bullets into his head. Emergency services responded around 8:21 p.m.; Davis was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead.

A week later, on October 13, 2021, members of the Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force located and arrested Marcha Johnson. He was initially charged with second-degree murder while armed. During sentencing, Davis’s family described him as a good spirit who dreamed of traveling and was just shy of his 21st birthday. If anyone knew Rufus or witnessed the events on O Street that evening, please share what was seen or any information that might help explain what happened.
