In the early morning hours of July 26, 2020, gunfire was reported in the 800 block of Chesapeake Street SE in Washington, D.C. Officers located a vehicle in the 4200 block of 7th Street SE, Congress Heights, and found 23-year-old Keith Rawlings of Glenarden, Maryland, inside with gunshot wounds. DC Fire and Emergency Medical Services pronounced Rawlings dead at the scene. Homicide detectives opened an investigation and the department offered a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

On September 9, 2020, authorities arrested 20-year-old Kyree Fields of Laurel, Maryland, on a DC Superior Court arrest warrant and charged him with first-degree murder while armed in connection with Rawlings’ death. Prosecutors noted Fields had prior arrests for being a felon in possession of a firearm. At a November 10, 2020 hearing, a DC Superior Court judge dismissed the murder charge for lack of probable cause, finding insufficient witnesses and motive; prosecutors had cited a ballistics report but the judge found the evidence did not support moving to trial. Fields was released in the killing although he remained held on other matters.

What information about that night or about Keith Rawlings might help bring answers in this case?
