On the evening of August 10, 2020, 17-year-old Taijhon Wyatt Jr. was fatally shot in an alley in the 5500 block of 9th Street Northwest, Washington, D.C. Wyatt was with friends around 9:34 p.m. when a stolen vehicle approached and two people inside opened fire. Wyatt was struck by multiple gunshots and pronounced dead at the scene. An adult male in the group was wounded and survived with non-life-threatening injuries. The shooters fled in the stolen car, which was later found abandoned in Baltimore.

Investigators identified and arrested three suspects: 19-year-old Deandre Levy was taken into custody in December 2020, and 17-year-old Nelfy Hernandez and 16-year-old Trey Prillerman were arrested in February 2021. All three were charged as adults with first-degree murder while armed. Prosecutors said security footage and audio showed the defendants stalking Wyatt and his friends in the moments before the ambush, attempting to trap them.

Did anyone in the neighborhood see the stolen vehicle or the group in the alley that night?
