On the afternoon of December 21, 2020, at about 2:32 p.m., officers found 25-year-old Tyree Brox, a Black man from Suitland, Maryland, inside a vehicle stopped in the intersection of 51st Street and Bass Place in Southeast Washington, D.C., suffering from apparent gunshot wounds. D.C. Fire and Emergency Medical Services pronounced him dead at the scene.

Family described Brox as a devoted brother, father, artist, and community leader who organized block parties, barbecues, poetry nights, and back-to-school drives. The Metropolitan Police Department made arrests in the case: on December 30, 2020, 24-year-old Rashad Winston of Southeast D.C. was charged with first-degree murder while armed; on March 13, 2021, 22-year-old Keshawn Taylor of Southeast D.C. was also arrested and charged with first-degree murder while armed.

Does anyone have information about Brox’s activities in Southeast D.C. or the block events his family organized?
