James Lamont Stewart was 28 and a resident of Capitol Heights, Maryland, when he was shot in Washington, D.C., on the night of January 6, 2019. At about 10:54 p.m. gunfire was reported on the 800 block of Varnum Street Northwest. Officers found Stewart with gunshot wounds; he was taken to a hospital and later pronounced dead.

Witnesses described two male suspects fleeing in a dark-colored sedan, one wearing a white hoodie and the other a black hoodie. A woman was also seen running from the scene, though her connection to the shooting is not clear. Stewart’s killing was one of six homicides in the city that weekend.

No arrests have been announced, and the investigation remains open with the Metropolitan Police Department offering a reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction.
