On the late afternoon of Tuesday, May 8, 2018, 26-year-old Bennie Dexter Turner was fatally shot in Northeast Washington, D.C. The shooting happened just before 3 p.m. in the 800 block of 19th Street NE. After being struck, Turner ran into a nearby home seeking help and was transported by D.C. Fire and Emergency Medical Services to a local hospital, where he later died.

The Metropolitan Police Department’s Homicide Branch opened an investigation and released footage showing three persons of interest in a black four-door Ford; that vehicle was last seen turning left onto I Street NE. Authorities offered a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible. The neighborhood had experienced a recent shooting the month before, adding to local concern.
