Sean Coleman-Bey, 20, was fatally shot inside an establishment on the 1300 block of Brentwood Road Northeast in Washington, D.C., on the night of September 19, 2019. Police arrived about 10:21 p.m. after multiple calls reporting gunfire and found Sean and a woman with gunshot wounds inside the business; a second man with gunshot injuries was located nearby on the 1400 block of Rhode Island Avenue Northeast. The two surviving victims were treated for non–life-threatening injuries; Sean’s wounds proved fatal and he was pronounced dead.

Investigators described the Brentwood attack as a targeted shooting, saying a masked, gloved assailant walked into or approached the establishment. Surveillance captured a light-colored vehicle believed to be connected to the incident, and police released an image of it to the public. Authorities said they did not yet have a clear motive and offered up to a $25,000 reward for tips leading to an arrest and conviction. The homicide investigation remained active and no arrest had been publicly announced.

Sean is remembered in memorials by friends and family as brave, outgoing, protective, and deeply caring. Is there anyone who was in that area or who recognizes the vehicle or the person seen on camera who can help investigators?
