On the evening of July 5, 2017, 43-year-old Malachi Yisrael was found unconscious in the 300 block of 50th Street NE in Washington, D.C., after suffering eight gunshot wounds. He was taken to a local hospital and died of his injuries. A juvenile male was also wounded in the same incident.

An argument escalated into a physical fight when Yisrael struck McDonald; while McDonald was on the ground he began shooting. Yisrael tried to flee but was pursued and shot repeatedly. The shooting stopped when another person at the scene returned fire and McDonald fled; he was later located with gunshot wounds to his back and buttocks and required surgery. Detectives observed facial swelling and bruising on McDonald and charged him as an adult with second-degree murder while armed.

Yisrael had a criminal past but had reportedly graduated from a D.C. Department of Transportation jobs program and worked as a construction engineer. He was a father of five and stepfather to five more. Does anyone have information about the altercation that led to this shooting or the identities of other people involved that night?
