In the early morning hours of June 16, 2019, gunfire rang out in the 4300 block of 4th Street Southeast in Washington, D.C. Officers arriving at about 1:15 a.m. found 30-year-old Arkeem Jackson unconscious with multiple gunshot wounds and an adult woman nearby also suffering life-threatening gunshot injuries. Both were taken to a hospital; Jackson was pronounced dead despite resuscitation attempts.

The investigation continued for more than a year. On December 31, 2020, Metropolitan Police Homicide detectives announced an arrest: 26-year-old Davonte Brothers of Southeast D.C., who was already in the D.C. Jail on a separate First Degree Murder while Armed charge. Brothers was charged with First Degree Murder while Armed in Jackson’s killing and faces additional charges related to the incident; prosecutors set proceedings and trial dates in the case.
