In the early morning hours of July 7, 2020, gunfire on Bass Place in Southeast Washington, D.C. left three people dead. Police found a man and a woman inside a vehicle and another man nearby; all three were pronounced dead at the scene around 1:15 a.m. One of the victims was 20-year-old Juwan Wade, a Black male from Northeast D.C. The others were 56-year-old Claudette Williams and 29-year-old Marquise Lewis.

The Metropolitan Police Department identified two suspects and arrests followed: 33-year-old Dale Benjamin was charged on October 20, 2020, and 44-year-old Jibri Qayyum was charged on February 24, 2021, each with second-degree murder while armed. In April 2021 a D.C. Superior Court judge dismissed the murder charges after a preliminary hearing where surveillance video reportedly showed a muzzle flash coming from the victims’ vehicle. The dismissal left the case unresolved but did not preclude refiling if new evidence emerges.

Does anyone have information about Bass Place on July 7, 2020, or knew Juwan Wade?
