On the evening of July 8, 2021, 24-year-old Muntsier Sharfi of Bristow, Virginia, was found inside an overturned vehicle in the 3300 block of Southern Avenue SE in Washington, D.C. Authorities say he had been shot moments earlier about a block away on Erie Street. Sharfi, a former university football player working as a delivery driver for a marijuana dispensary, was reportedly lured to the location under the pretense of a sale and was shot in the head while still in his car. After being shot, he appears to have stepped on the accelerator and crashed, overturning the vehicle.

The case remained unsolved for some time while the Metropolitan Police Department offered a reward for information leading to an arrest. A key break came when a handgun recovered during a traffic stop in Prince George’s County was ballistically linked to a casing found at Sharfi’s murder scene. Investigators also traced the TextNow account used to arrange the delivery back to a suspect, leading to an arrest in July 2023. If anyone knew Muntsier, saw him the night of July 8, 2021, or has information about the TextNow communications, please come forward.
