On the evening of Friday, February 19, 2021, 60-year-old Geno Freeman of Hyattsville, Maryland, was fatally shot in the 6000 block of Chillum Place NE in Northeast Washington, D.C. Officers arriving at about 5:58 p.m. after a report of an unconscious person found Freeman with a gunshot wound in front of an establishment; DC Fire and Emergency Medical Services pronounced him dead at the scene.

Police encountered a 66-year-old armed man, later identified as John Woods of Silver Spring, Maryland. Woods ignored multiple commands and an officer discharged a weapon, striking him; he was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Investigators determined Woods was responsible for Freeman’s shooting and charged him with first-degree murder while armed, assault on a police officer while armed, and related firearm offenses. Court documents and witness statements say the two were former co-workers and that Woods believed Freeman had poisoned him, an allegation that appears to have motivated the confrontation.

Does anyone have information about either man’s movements in Northeast D.C. that evening?
