Daymond Chicas, 24, was killed after being shot while working on a surveillance installation at the Kelly Miller Pool in Northeast Washington, D.C. on June 11, 2018. Chicas, from Manassas, Virginia and a Stonewall Jackson High School graduate, chased a group of children who had taken his cell phone. Returning to the pool area, he was confronted and shot multiple times. He died at a hospital on June 12, 2018.

A 17-year-old from Northeast Washington, Bernard McKinney, was arrested a little over a month later and charged as an adult with first-degree murder. Court records say a witness reported that after Chicas chased the juveniles, they encountered McKinney and another unidentified person, and the other person fired the fatal shots. McKinney later pleaded guilty to armed robbery and in May 2021 was sentenced to five years under the Youth Rehabilitation Act. The shooter who fired the gun that killed Chicas has not been publicly identified.

Did anyone in the area remember seeing activity around the 300 block of 50th Street NE that afternoon?
