Michael Brittingham was 26 when he was shot dead on the evening of August 6, 2020, in the 600 block of 46th Place Southeast in Washington, D.C. Officers responding to gunfire found him suffering multiple gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Two other males—an adult and a juvenile—were also shot but survived with non-life-threatening injuries.

Witnesses said the shooting followed an argument over money between Brittingham and Dreaun Young, who were acquaintances from the neighborhood. Brittingham was shot nine times at close range near an ice cream truck. Young, a juvenile at the time, was later charged as an adult with Second Degree Murder while Armed. He fled the area and was arrested in August 2022 in Hollywood, California, before being returned to Washington, D.C.

If anyone saw the confrontation near the ice cream truck or has other information about what happened that night, please share what is known.
