A late-night shooting on Kennedy Street NW in Washington, D.C., left 52-year-old Benson Thorne Sr. fatally wounded. The Metropolitan Police Department received a call at about 12:07 a.m. on June 18, 2021, and first responders found Thorne suffering multiple gunshot wounds and rushed him to a hospital; he died the next day.

Detectives reported that Thorne and 40-year-old Pierre Turnage, found a few blocks away in the 5100 block of New Hampshire Avenue NW, exchanged gunfire. Turnage was located inside a vehicle with multiple gunshot wounds; a firearm was recovered from that vehicle. Turnage later died on June 20, 2021. Police concluded the two men, who knew each other, were the only people involved and no arrests were made.

Are there details about Thorne’s movements that night or anyone who saw the exchange that could help clarify what happened?
