George Coleman IV, a 22-year-old Black man from Southeast Washington, DC, was shot inside a home on the 400 block of Mellon Street SE just after midnight on Saturday, June 27, 2020. A passerby flagged down officers about 12:16 a.m.; DC Fire and EMS transported him to a hospital where he was pronounced dead. Police identified him within hours and the scene became a homicide investigation.

Online tributes describe George as funny, deeply loving and faith-centered; he had been a cadet and attended Perry Street Prep. The Metropolitan Police Homicide Branch circulated a reward flyer offering up to $25,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction. The case is listed among the District’s major unsolved homicides from 2020, and as of the latest public information no suspect has been named and no arrest announced.

If anyone knew George, his movements that night, or has information that could help investigators, please come forward.
