On the morning of Thursday, November 12, 2015, gunfire rang out on the 5300 block of Clay Terrace in Northeast Washington, D.C. Twenty-nine-year-old Antwan Baker of Southeast D.C. was found dead on the sidewalk with multiple gunshot wounds after witnesses reported hearing ten to fifteen shots and described the attack as execution-style. Another man with Baker was wounded, and witnesses said the suspects fled in a black sedan. Baker’s body remained on the sidewalk for more than two hours while police investigated and relatives were visibly distressed at the scene.

Investigators later tied Baker’s killing to a violent feud along East Capitol Street. In August 2016, 26-year-old Joseph Brown was arrested and charged with first-degree murder while armed; in June 2017, 24-year-old Rondell McLeod was also arrested and charged. Brown later admitted to getting out of a vehicle and shooting Baker six times in the back of the head and neck; he pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter while armed and received a 25-year prison sentence. The shooting was said to have been retaliation for a killing two weeks earlier in which Baker was identified as the suspect.

Does anyone have information about the Clay Terrace shooting or memories of activity in that neighborhood around November 2015?
