On the evening of Saturday, February 22, 2020, sixteen-year-old Jaime Zelaya was shot and killed inside his Brightwood apartment in the 6000 block of 13th Street NW in Washington, D.C. He was a junior at Paul Public Charter School. Jaime and his seventeen-year-old best friend Wilfredo Torres were returning from a nearby McDonald’s when a gunman followed them into the building and opened fire; both boys were killed.

Jaime’s mother was also shot multiple times and survived but remained in critical condition and required multiple surgeries. Police believe the attack, carried out with what they described as a high-powered rifle, was likely not random. The Metropolitan Police Department investigated the double homicide and offered a reward of up to $50,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction, but no public identification or custody of suspects has been announced and the case remains unsolved.

Does anyone with information about the Brightwood area on February 22, 2020, or about the two victims, have details that could help investigators?
