On the evening of Monday, February 22, 2016, 21-year-old Deandre A. Sibblies was killed by a single gunshot in the 4500 block of Quarles Street in Northeast Washington, D.C. The shooting happened at about 5:38 p.m. and occurred near the Kenilworth-Parkside Recreation Center, where his mother had dropped him off earlier that day.

Family described Deandre, known as Dre, as a respectable young man who helped coach youth football and was not known to be involved in criminal activity. His relatives say the shooting may have followed a dispute with people he knew; the attack also happened on his sister’s 22nd birthday. His mother recalls finding his clothing behind crime-scene tape as he was taken to the hospital.

The Metropolitan Police Department opened a homicide investigation and appealed for public help. No arrests have been announced, no suspects have been publicly identified, and the case remains unsolved and under investigation.

If anyone knew Deandre, saw him that day, or has information about what happened on Quarles Street, please come forward to assist the investigation.
