John Gaines was 53 when he was fatally shot in the 4300 block of Seventh Street SE in Southeast Washington, D.C., in the evening hours of a Tuesday in March 2018. Police found him in front of a Belmont Crossing apartment building at about 8 p.m. with a gunshot wound to the chest; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

A second man was located with multiple gunshot wounds and was taken to a nearby hospital; that survivor had been shot five times. The Metropolitan Police Department opened a homicide investigation but did not immediately release information about suspects or motives, and no arrests were reported in the initial accounts.

Who has information about what happened that night or about activity around Belmont Crossing in March 2018?
