Resha Blount, 25, was fatally shot during an apparent dispute over a marijuana transaction at an apartment on New Jersey Avenue NW in Northwest D.C. Police found her unconscious inside the residence on the afternoon of April 30, 2020; she had sustained multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators tied the shooting to 20-year-old Karlos Kinney of Southeast D.C. Text messages on Blount’s phone showed she had arranged to buy marijuana from Kinney. According to a witness who was in the apartment, an argument over price escalated, Kinney shot Blount, pointed a gun at the witness and stole her cellphone before fleeing. Kinney was arrested by the Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force on May 5, 2020, and charged with second-degree murder while armed.

If anyone knew Resha, saw activity at that New Jersey Avenue address on April 30, 2020, or has information about the transaction and people present, please come forward with what was seen or heard.
