Senquea Whitley was 27 when he was shot and killed in Northeast Washington, D.C., on the afternoon of Monday, July 13, 2020. Emergency responders found him with gunshot wounds in the 3900 block of Clay Place NE at about 2:05 p.m.; he was pronounced dead at the scene and his body was taken to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner. Whitley lived in Northeast D.C.

Investigators identified a suspect and, on August 11, 2020, members of the Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force arrested 20-year-old Rashad Johnson of Southeast D.C. on a D.C. Superior Court warrant. He was charged with first-degree murder while armed. Evidence at a preliminary hearing included surveillance video that prosecutors say shows a man crossing from a McDonald’s parking lot to Clay Place and firing three shots, photographs from Johnson’s phone of a matching handgun, and an officer who previously arrested Johnson identifying him in the footage. The defense highlighted differences it said undermined the ID, noting witnesses did not report tattoos seen on Johnson’s forearms and that the shooter in the video appeared to use his right hand while Johnson is left-handed. A judge found probable cause and released Johnson under the High Intensity Supervision Program pending trial.

Did anyone see Senquea Whitley or the area around Clay Place NE that afternoon who hasn’t spoken to investigators?
