Troy Coleman was 21 when he was shot on the 1800 block of Alabama Avenue SE in the Douglass neighborhood of Southeast Washington, D.C., on the evening of Sunday, August 2, 2020. Metropolitan Police Department Seventh District officers responded to reports of gunfire around 8:18 p.m. and found him suffering from a gunshot wound on the street. He was taken to a nearby hospital and was pronounced dead a short time later.

Detectives from MPD’s Homicide Branch opened an investigation and the department issued a victim notice and a reward flier offering up to $25,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction. Public appeals asked anyone in the vicinity that night to come forward. Online memorials describe Troy as a humble, respectful young man who worked as a janitor in D.C., attended Ballou High School and Ron Brown Middle School, and did not meet his son, who was born after his death.

No arrest or suspect identification has been announced and the case remains listed among the city’s unsolved homicides. Did anyone in the Douglass area see or hear anything on Alabama Avenue SE that night?
