Kenneth Poindexter was 29 when he was shot inside a residence in the 4700 block of Benning Road SE on the afternoon of Saturday, January 20, 2018. He was taken to a local hospital but died of multiple gunshot wounds.

Investigators identified and arrested several people in connection with the killing. Steven Robin, Antonio McKenzie, and Edward Brown were charged with first-degree murder while armed. Charles Young was described as the getaway driver and later pleaded guilty to accessory after the fact to voluntary manslaughter. Robin was tried and acquitted of the murder charges but convicted of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence. McKenzie and Brown faced separate proceedings that included allegations of witness tampering while they were incarcerated.

Testimony at the proceedings examined a possible motive tied to a dispute at a nightclub the day before Poindexter’s death; witnesses described a fight and follow-up arguments that may have led to the shooting. Does anyone have information about Poindexter, the nightclub incident, or the events on Benning Road that afternoon?
