On the evening of December 11, 2016, 21-year-old Grant Copeland Dosunmu was found inside a Jaguar on the 6900 block of 32nd Street NW in Washington, D.C., suffering at least one gunshot wound. Police were called about 9:30 p.m.; he was pronounced dead at the scene two blocks from his family’s home.

Investigators say the person responsible was inside the car with Dosunmu at the time. His mother, Phyllis Copeland Dosunmu, described him as popular with no known enemies and suggested the motive might have been a carjacking. He was a Wilson High School graduate who had talked with his mother shortly before the shooting, saying he was with friends watching a football game and heading home.

As of late 2025 the Metropolitan Police Department had not announced any arrests or publicly identified suspects and was offering up to a $25,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction. If anyone knew Grant or saw activity on 32nd Street NW that night, please share what can help the investigation.
