Barron Goodwin, 60, was sitting on a black leather couch under the front window of a rowhouse in Southeast Washington, D.C., when a bullet fired from outside struck him in the back of the head on the morning of Wednesday, February 12, 2020, at about 11:05 a.m. He was found on the floor by a relative who had rushed downstairs and was taken to a hospital, where he died more than four hours later; he was recorded as the city’s 19th homicide of 2020. Another round pierced the front door and hit a staircase, and two additional bullets struck vehicles parked outside on the 800 block of 51st Street SE in the Benning Park neighborhood.

Police initially had no description of a shooter and asked the public for help and surveillance footage. Relatives believed a stray bullet caused the death. Can anyone with information, video, or eyewitness detail about the shooting on 51st Street SE help investigators?
