Wesley West was 25 when he was shot and killed in the early hours of Saturday, July 18, 2015, in the 3400 block of 13th Place SE in Congress Heights, Washington, D.C. The shooting occurred about 12:56 am. The neighborhood had already seen two other homicides within a thousand feet of that block earlier in the year.

West was a father and a longtime community mediator. He worked with Peaceoholics, helping steer young people away from violence and mediating conflicts; he had moved out of the neighborhood in his twenties to build a career and was pursuing a contracting license to support his family. His parents are named Wesley Young and Fontessa West-Barksdale.

Did anyone in Congress Heights know Wesley or see anything that night that could help the investigation?
