On the afternoon of February 24, 2016, a confrontation inside a Southeast Washington, D.C., market escalated into a fatal shooting. Demetrius Christopher Medlay, 22, bumped shoulders with Justin Robinson, which led to a brief argument. After Robinson communicated with Kevin Grover, Grover approached Medlay on the 3100 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue SE and shot him twice in the chest at about 2:50 p.m. Medlay ran back into the market and collapsed; he was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead.

Initial reports said the shooter fled in a green vehicle with Virginia plates. The Metropolitan Police Department later arrested Kevin Grover, then 24, in August 2016 and charged him with murder. An 18-year-old Justin Robinson was arrested in July 2017 and charged with first-degree murder while armed. In October 2018 both men pleaded guilty to charges stemming from Medlay’s death: Grover pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and Robinson pleaded guilty to assault with intent to kill, with plea agreements calling for prison terms of 16 to 20 years for Grover and three to seven years for Robinson.

Does anyone have more information about what happened in the market that afternoon or saw the green vehicle that fled the scene?
