A family disagreement over an Instagram post escalated into deadly violence in Southeast Washington, D.C. Vincent Gyamfi, 26, was shot and killed on the afternoon of Friday, December 11, 2020, in the 1700 block of 29th Street SE. The dispute began when Gyamfi confronted his cousin, 26-year-old Lewkus Turner, about a post that had upset him. The two, who reportedly saw each other almost daily, argued; Turner left, returned armed, and the confrontation continued.

A final encounter near 29th and S Street SE ended when Turner shot Gyamfi three times as Gyamfi ran toward Turner’s vehicle. Police arrived around 4:09 p.m.; EMS found no signs of life and Gyamfi was pronounced dead. Turner was later identified as the suspect and was arrested on December 29, 2020.

The case tore a family apart; did anyone who knew Vincent or the cousins notice tensions between them before December 11, 2020?
