Dejon Charles Sutton was 24 when he was shot and later died on the night of May 10, 2017, in his own neighborhood in Northeast Washington, D.C. The shooting occurred about 8:40 PM in the 6100 block of Banks Place NE, near the Maryland border and beside the Watts Branch playground. Sutton lived roughly two blocks from the scene.

Another man was wounded and found about two blocks south at the Capitol Heights Metro station in Maryland; he was taken to hospital for treatment. Sutton was transported to Prince George’s Hospital Center and pronounced dead there at 11:42 PM. The Metropolitan Police Department’s Homicide Branch opened an investigation and a reward of up to $25,000 was offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction, but no arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved.

Does anyone in the neighborhood remember that night or have information that could help bring these shooters to justice?
