On the evening of January 11, 2015, 27-year-old James Anderson was shot multiple times and killed on the 1300 block of 1st Street, SW in Washington, D.C., a few blocks from Nationals Park. Police found Anderson suffering from what proved to be fatal gunshot wounds; his death was the city’s fifth homicide of the year.

The Metropolitan Police Department arrested 21-year-old Dujuan Garris on February 10, 2015, and charged him with first-degree murder while armed. Prosecutors described a premeditated robbery: they say Garris, known as Fat Fat, entered a residence on 1st Street with two lookouts, demanded Anderson’s belongings and shot him three times after a struggle. The defense countered that Anderson was involved with a drug gang, argued other suspects existed and pointed to a suppressed email they say named alternative suspects. Witness testimony at trial included inconsistent recollections.

Are there readers who knew James Anderson or who have information about the events on 1st Street that night?
