On June 22, 2019, a dispute during a street-corner dice game in the 600 block of Morton Street NW in Washington, D.C., left 45-year-old Melton Grant dead. An argument between Grant and another man, identified as Keith Toney, escalated when Grant punched Toney. Toney then produced a firearm and shot Grant multiple times. Metropolitan Police officers arrived around 9:51 p.m. and found Grant unconscious and not breathing; he was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Police also found a second adult male victim in the 3400 block of Georgia Avenue NW with a gunshot wound; that man was conscious and transported to a hospital with serious injuries. Detectives identified 41-year-old Keith Toney as the suspect, released his photo, and a D.C. Superior Court arrest warrant led to his arrest on July 9, 2019. He was charged with First Degree Murder while Armed.
