On the evening of July 30, 2018, 47-year-old Andre Hakim Young of District Heights, Maryland, was shot in the head and killed on the 1500 block of 19th Street SE in Southeast Washington, D.C. He had reportedly gone there to mediate a dispute. Young worked as a sound engineer and volunteered as a football coach; family members described him as calm and gentle and said he was trying to help someone when he was killed. Another person was wounded in the same shooting and went to hospital for treatment. The incident occurred during a sudden spike in homicides that troubled the city.

Metropolitan Police identified a suspect and on August 8, 2018 arrested Mark Price of Southeast D.C., charging him with first-degree murder while armed and with additional counts including assault with intent to kill. Court proceedings and motions have followed, with a trial date set and later delays.

Did anyone in the neighborhood see what happened that night or know more about Young’s efforts to intervene?
