Sheila Lucas, 71, was fatally shot on May 23, 2020, in the 1600 block of Savannah Street SE in Southeast Washington, D.C. According to reports, she went to intervene when her granddaughter was assaulted by another woman; great-grandchildren were present. While positioning herself between the people arguing, gunfire erupted and she was struck in the head. She was taken to a hospital and later died. A man was also wounded, with non-life-threatening injuries.

Ms. Lucas was a single mother who raised six children and later adopted four more. She had survived being shot about three decades earlier, lived with diabetes, and had recently recovered from COVID-19. The Metropolitan Police Department opened a homicide investigation; at the time of the initial reports no arrests had been announced and authorities were seeking public help, offering a reward for information that would lead to an arrest and conviction.

Does anyone have information about the shooting or remember seeing anything in the area that evening?
