A dispute over a can of beer in northwest Washington, D.C., ended in a fatal shooting on June 28, 2014. Talbert Mitchell Bright, 48, was near the intersection of 2nd Street and Massachusetts Avenue NW in the early hours when he sustained multiple gunshot wounds to his upper body. First responders arrived about 2:44 a.m. and Bright was taken to a hospital, where he later died.

The Metropolitan Police Department arrested 30-year-old James Johnson the next day, June 29, 2014, initially on suspicion of second-degree murder while armed. In November 2014 Johnson pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter, closing the investigation into Bright’s death.

If anyone knew Bright or witnessed the events near 2nd Street and Massachusetts Avenue NW that morning, please share what is remembered.
