On March 31, 2021, a shooting on the 1300 block of Congress Street, Southeast, Washington, D.C., left five people wounded and two dead. Police responded about 1:21 pm; two women and two men were found with gunshot injuries and transported to hospitals, and a fifth victim later sought treatment. Two of the victims died: 28-year-old Keosha Ferguson of Southeast, DC, and 25-year-old George Evans III of Southeast, DC. The surviving victims sustained injuries described as not life-threatening.

Detectives reported the shooting may have begun as a dispute between two groups. A suspect in Ferguson’s killing was identified and arrested on April 28, 2021: 25-year-old Tarik Turner of Southeast, DC, was charged with Second Degree Murder While Armed in connection with her death. Turner was not charged in Evans’s death. Anyone who witnessed the March 31 incident or has information about the dispute is asked to come forward.
