D’Quan Young, a 24-year-old Black man, was shot and killed on the evening of May 9, 2018, in the 2300 block of 15th Street Northeast, Washington, D.C. The U.S. Attorney’s Office says the encounter began when Young confronted an off-duty police officer who was reportedly looking for a gathering Young was attending; officials say Young pulled out a firearm, pointed it at the officer, and fired, and that the officer returned fire, striking Young multiple times. Young was pronounced dead at the scene.

Witnesses on scene offered a different account, saying the officer had been circling the area, approached Young as he walked away, and began shooting — with some witnesses alleging the officer continued firing after Young fell and reloaded. The officer was off-duty and not wearing a body-worn camera. Investigations by the Metropolitan Police Department and the U.S.

Young’s mother, Catherine Young, and activists criticized the investigation’s transparency and sought release of the officer’s name and all video evidence; some body-camera footage from responding officers was later released and the family filed Freedom of Information Act requests related to the case. Does anyone have information about that night or about witnesses who came forward?
