In the predawn hours of Friday, June 28, 2019, gunfire erupted in the 2400 block of 14th Street Northeast near the Brentwood Recreation Center in Washington, D.C. Officers from the Fifth District arrived around 2:47 a.m. and found 25-year-old Bernard Jarvis of Hyattsville, Maryland, lying on the sidewalk with multiple gunshot wounds. Jarvis was pronounced dead at the scene.

Detectives from the Metropolitan Police Department’s Homicide Branch investigated for nearly two weeks, and the department offered a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction. On Wednesday, July 10, 2019, members of the Fifth District located and arrested 32-year-old Delonta Daniel of Southeast, D.C., on a D.C. Superior Court arrest warrant; Daniel was charged with First Degree Murder While Armed in connection with Jarvis’s death. Authorities did not immediately release a motive.

If anyone knew Bernard, saw activity in that block on the morning of June 28, 2019, or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
