In the spring of 2020 a violent encounter inside the Parkway Plaza Apartments on 24th Street NE in Northeast Washington, D.C. ended the life of 22-year-old D’Andre Mickle. On the morning of April 28 he was shot multiple times inside an apartment, taken to a nearby hospital, and later died of his wounds. Investigators determined Mickle had forcibly entered that apartment and was confronted by an armed resident; an altercation followed and Mickle was shot. The person who shot him was questioned but not immediately charged, and police later classified the incident as a justifiable homicide with no arrest in the case.

Detectives also identified Mickle as the primary suspect in a separate homicide two months earlier, the February 28 shooting death of 21-year-old De’mari Twyman on Monroe Street NE. What additional information about either incident can anyone in the neighborhood share?
