On the evening of August 3, 2017, 29-year-old Jarvis Belle of Northeast Washington, D.C. was fatally wounded in a shooting at about 7:40 p.m. in the 3400 block of 18th Street NE. Officers from the Fifth District found four adult men with gunshot wounds; Belle was taken to a hospital with life-threatening injuries and later died. Three other men suffered non-life-threatening wounds.

Investigators described a chaotic scene at an Exxon gas station where police believe at least three people approached a group and opened fire. Surveillance video released by the Metropolitan Police Department shows two men, called persons of interest, appearing to fire toward someone off-camera and then retreat while dodging return gunfire. Authorities searched for a dark-colored four-door sedan, possibly a Lexus, seen leaving the area.

Belle’s parents called on the public for help, and the MPD offered up to a $25,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction. If anyone has information about that night, the vehicle, or the people in the footage, please come forward.
