Fifteen-year-old Thomas Johnson was shot and killed on October 9, 2019, near his home on the 1300 block of Half Street SW in Washington, D.C., close to Nationals Park. The shooting happened about 1:30 p.m., hours before a playoff watch party at the stadium. Witnesses said Johnson was chased into a courtyard and struck multiple times; some recalled hearing five gunshots. He died at the scene.

The Metropolitan Police Department reported that Johnson appeared to have been specifically targeted. On January 3, 2020, authorities arrested 18-year-old Javon Gunter and charged him with first-degree murder while armed. Motive has not been publicly disclosed. The neighborhood was shaken by the killing given its proximity to a major public event and the victim’s age.

If anyone knew Thomas or saw activity near Half Street SW that afternoon, what might help investigators or the family?
