On the evening of April 25, 2018, police responding to the 400 block of 61st Street NE in Northeast Washington discovered two men shot in the head. Victims were 44-year-old Antone Brown and 23-year-old Dalonte Wilson; both died at the scene. Investigators recovered multiple shell casings of different calibers, and the scene yielded blood evidence and other forensic material.

Authorities identified a primary suspect, 45-year-old Alphonso Walker, and charged him with two counts of first-degree murder while armed with aggravating circumstances, attempted robbery, and several weapons offenses. The prosecution’s case has relied on DNA swabs, fingerprints, shell-casing analysis and witness testimony; the defense has challenged investigative steps and witness credibility. A judge later declared a mistrial in the five-year-old case, and proceedings have continued thereafter.

If anyone has information about the events on 61st Street NE that evening or knew Antone Brown, please share what you know with investigators.
