Marcus Williams, 36, was shot and killed during what police believe was an attempted robbery on October 10, 2019. Williams, a groundskeeper for the D.C. Housing Authority, had been taking his lunch break in his vehicle in the 1200 block of I Street Southeast, near the Potomac Gardens complex, when a man approached his car. Surveillance footage released by authorities shows an altercation, Williams fleeing on foot and the suspect pursuing him into the housing complex courtyard, where Williams was shot. He was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead.

The Metropolitan Police Department opened a homicide investigation and released the surveillance video to the public; a reward of up to $25,000 was offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction. Williams was remembered by neighbors as a well-liked, hard-working employee, and his family was already grieving his mother’s recent death when he was killed. No arrest has been publicly reported and the suspect’s identity remains unknown.

Did anyone in Potomac Gardens or the surrounding area see the suspect or the chase that afternoon?
