Nineteen-year-old Andy Bonilla was killed by gunfire on January 26, 2020, in the 2900 block of Sherman Avenue NW in Washington, D.C. Officers from the Third District responded to a shooting call at about 12:56 p.m.; EMS took Bonilla to a hospital with life-threatening injuries, and he was later pronounced dead.

Months later detectives from the Metropolitan Police Department’s Homicide Branch identified a suspect. On April 22, 2020, a 15-year-old juvenile male from Northwest D.C. was arrested and charged with First Degree Murder while Armed; his name was not released because he was a minor. Court documents allege the suspect was in a stolen car with several others when Bonilla was pointed out, that occupants of the vehicle opened fire, and that the group drove on, smoked weed, stopped at a Safeway and separated roughly two hours later.

Are there witnesses or anyone who knew Andy or saw activity in the 2900 block of Sherman Avenue that afternoon who can come forward?
