Bryan BJ Tate Jr., 37, was found dead from multiple gunshot wounds inside his apartment in the 1600 block of 18th Street SE in Southeast Washington, D.C., on the afternoon of February 20, 2020. Family members requested a welfare check after they could not reach him; responding officers and emergency services discovered him with no signs of life and the death was treated as a homicide investigators later described as domestic in nature.

The Metropolitan Police Department’s investigation extended for more than a year and a half. In September 2021, 35-year-old Tamika Green, identified as Tate’s girlfriend, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder while armed. Her account to relatives initially named intruders, but prosecutors say her story changed and witnesses described a history of domestic threats during the couple’s seven-year relationship. At trial, Green’s attorneys argued self-defense.

If anyone knew Bryan, his routines, or observed activity at 18th Street SE around February 20, 2020, please share what was seen or heard.
