On the afternoon of Tuesday, May 19, 2020, gunfire echoed through the commercial stretch of Anacostia in Southeast Washington, D.C. Police who responded to the 2400 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue SE, a block from the Anacostia Metro Station, found three people shot. Twenty-year-old Jaszel Henderson and 31-year-old Terrance Griffin, both of Southeast D.C., suffered fatal injuries and were pronounced dead at the scene. A third victim, an adult woman, was taken to a hospital with life-threatening wounds.

Detectives from the Metropolitan Police Department’s Homicide Branch investigated. Witnesses reported seeing a gold-colored Saturn SUV leaving the area right after the shots. The motive was not immediately clear. On June 17, 2020, police arrested a 16-year-old male, Michael Mason of Southeast D.C., charging him as an adult with first-degree murder while armed and with additional counts tied to a series of violent incidents from April and May; he was also a suspect in two other homicides. The department had offered a reward for information leading to arrests and convictions in this and related cases.

Did anyone in Anacostia see the gold-colored Saturn SUV or have information about who was at Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue SE that afternoon?
