On the morning of Thanksgiving Day, November 28, 2019, 28-year-old Michael Andre Francis was shot in the Unit block of Danbury Street SW in Washington, D.C. Officers from the Seventh District arrived around 11:42 a.m. and found Francis with multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to a hospital but was pronounced dead from his injuries. Francis lived in Upper Marlboro, Maryland.

Detectives from the Metropolitan Police Department’s Homicide Branch opened an investigation and offered a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction. Investigators identified a suspect and, on January 7, 2020, members of the Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force arrested 26-year-old Michael Fahnbulleh of Gaithersburg, Maryland, on a D.C. Superior Court warrant charging First Degree Murder while Armed. A judge later found a lack of probable cause to detain Fahnbulleh on the murder charge and ordered his release; he was immediately re-arrested on a Maryland parole violation.

Did anyone in the neighborhood or who knew Michael notice anything unusual that Thanksgiving morning?
