Damon Bell, 43, was shot and killed in Washington, D.C., on June 14, 2019. Police found Bell inside a vehicle in the 1600 block of West Virginia Avenue NE at about 1:18 a.m.; he was suffering from multiple gunshot wounds and later died at a hospital. At the time of his death he had no fixed address.

Six months later, in December 2019, police arrested 22-year-old Brandon Wiggins of Northeast D.C. and charged him with first-degree murder while armed. Court documents allege Wiggins believed Bell had stolen a friend’s vehicle and that belief led to the confrontation. In October 2022 Wiggins waived his right to DNA and ballistics testing; a trial readiness hearing was set for March with trial scheduled for April 2023. The Metropolitan Police Department had offered a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

Are there witnesses or additional information about the scene on West Virginia Avenue NE that could help clarify what happened that night?
