On the morning of Friday, May 8, 2020, 28-year-old Eddie Crist was shot in the 4000 block of South Capitol Terrace SW in Washington, D.C. Police arrived at about 8:05 a.m. to find a man with multiple gunshot wounds; Crist was transported to a hospital and pronounced dead. At the time he died authorities listed him as having no fixed address.

Detectives identified a suspect and on Monday, September 21, 2020, Metropolitan Police arrested 35-year-old Nathaniel Bates of Southeast, D.C., charging him with first-degree murder while armed. Court papers showed Bates was wearing a GPS monitoring device for another case; prosecutors say its data placed him at the scene at the time of the shooting and that his arrival was within a minute of shots being fired. His attorney argued presence alone did not prove guilt and pointed to a lack of other physical evidence. A judge found probable cause to move the matter toward trial and Bates remained detained.

Are there witnesses or local residents who remember the shooting or saw anyone in that block that morning?
