On the evening of Saturday, February 22, 2020, 17-year-old Wilfredo Torres and his friend, 16-year-old Jaime Zelaya were shot inside the 6000 block of 13th Street NW in the Brightwood neighborhood of Northwest Washington, D.C. The two teens had been returning to Zelaya’s apartment after getting food when a gunman armed with a high-powered rifle followed them into the building and opened fire. Wilfredo Torres was pronounced dead at the scene from multiple gunshot wounds; Jaime Zelaya was taken to a hospital and later pronounced dead.

A third victim, an adult woman later identified as Jaime’s mother, was critically wounded by multiple gunshot wounds and survived after multiple surgeries. The Metropolitan Police Department described the shooting as not appearing to be random but has not publicly identified a motive. A reward of up to $25,000 was offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction, yet no suspects have been publicly named or arrested.

Both families and the schools mourned the teens and emphasized that they were good kids who stayed out of trouble. Who saw or heard anything that night and can help bring answers to these families?
