On the night of October 2, 2021, a barrage of gunfire erupted from a dark sedan in the 1300 block of Half Street SW near Nationals Park in Washington, D.C. Around 11:00 p.m., witnesses said dozens of shots were fired. Three people were struck; Garry Stanley Sr., a 44-year-old Black man and a long-serving firefighter with the Prince George’s County Fire/EMS Department, was pronounced dead at the scene. A second man sustained minor injuries and a woman was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening wounds.

Stanley was remembered by colleagues and family as a dedicated firefighter, loving husband and father, known for his compassion and infectious laugh; the fire station where he served was draped in black bunting in tribute. The Metropolitan Police Department opened a homicide investigation and announced a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction, but no arrests have been made and police have not released suspect descriptions.

Does anyone have information about the shooting near Half Street SW that night or recall seeing a dark sedan in the area around 11:00 p.m. on October 2, 2021?
