Donta Thrower, 32, was shot and killed on a Friday evening in late spring 2014. The shooting happened May 30 at about 9:24 p.m. in the 1200 block of North Capitol Street Northwest. The Metropolitan Police Department opened a homicide investigation and asked the public for help identifying those responsible.

Nearly a year passed while investigators worked the case. In March of the following year authorities arrested 19-year-old Abdul Fields and charged him with first-degree felony murder while armed in connection with Thrower’s death. The charge alleges the killing occurred during the commission of another serious crime.

Anyone who knew Thrower or who has information about the shooting is asked to come forward.
