On the evening of Saturday, May 26, 2018, a dispute in a Southwest Washington, D.C., parking lot over a child riding a bicycle ended with two people dead. Venius Badgett, 35, and her husband Jaquon Helm were shot on Galveston Street after Badgett spoke to a boy she feared might be in danger. A confrontation followed between Badgett and the boy’s mother; Helm stepped in to separate them and, as the couple walked away, the boy called his father, Alonzo Lewis.

Police say Lewis arrived and opened fire in front of several children. Helm was found dead at the scene from multiple gunshot wounds; Badgett, a school bus attendant for Prince George’s County schools, was taken to a hospital and later died. The couple shared five children and were described as active in their community.

An 11-year-old witness reportedly saw the shooter, and investigators cited surveillance footage as corroboration. Does anyone have information about the incident or knew the family who might help fill in details?
