On the morning of March 7, 2019, officers from the Metropolitan Police Department’s Seventh District responded to the unit block of Halley Place SE in Washington, D.C., after a report of a man down. They found 27-year-old Brian Kennedy Jr., a Black man from Temple Hills, Maryland, lying in the street with multiple gunshot wounds. Emergency medical personnel pronounced him dead at the scene.

Detectives from the Homicide Branch believe Kennedy may have been shot at a different location and his body left on Halley Place. The investigation remains open; no arrests have been announced and police have not released information identifying suspects. Authorities have offered a substantial reward for tips that lead to an arrest and conviction.

If anyone in the area that night remembers seeing something out of the ordinary or has information about Brian’s movements, please come forward.
