Levi Kinte Davis, 38, was shot to death on the evening of September 16, 2015, in the 4200 block of East Capitol Street NE in Washington, D.C. He was inside an SUV at about 8:30 p.m. when he was struck multiple times and died of his wounds.

Police investigation focused on his on-and-off girlfriend, Carmelita Henderson, who worked as a mail clerk at the D.C. Jail while their relationship began. At the scene Henderson initially said she was a friend and that two masked men had shot Davis while she sat in the driver’s seat. Investigators later alleged a motive tied to Henderson’s termination from her job, and authorities charged her with first-degree murder in December 2016.

At trial prosecutors said Henderson arranged the killing and called a witness who testified Henderson had confessed and said she wanted Davis dead after being fired. The defense argued evidence tying her to the shooting was insufficient. In May 2019 a jury acquitted Carmelita Henderson. The identity and whereabouts of the one or two men police believe were the shooters remain publicly unresolved.

Did anyone in the neighborhood see or hear anything that night or know the men who carried out the shooting?
