On the evening of June 4, 2021, a shooting on the 1900 block of 7th Street Northwest — a busy stretch near the Howard Theatre — left 31-year-old Clifton Smith of Southeast Washington, D.C. dead. The attack occurred at about 9:45 p.m.; officers from the Metropolitan Police Department’s Third District found Smith and an adult female with gunshot wounds. Both were taken to a hospital, but Clifton Smith died; the female victim was conscious and expected to recover.

Detectives treating the incident as a homicide canvassed for witnesses and evidence and sought a silver Nissan Infiniti with Maryland plates last seen driving south toward S Street Northwest. No suspect descriptions or names have been released, and no arrests had been announced. A reward of up to $25,000 is being offered for information that leads to an arrest and conviction.

Did anyone in the area that night see the Infiniti or other vehicles or persons acting suspiciously?
