Andre Pierce Joyner, 29, of Fort Washington, Maryland, was shot on April 25, 2014 and later died of multiple gunshot wounds. The shooting occurred around 3:35 p.m. on the 600 block of Morris Place NE, near an elementary school in Washington, D.C.; emergency responders transported Joyner to a hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.

Authorities arrested 29-year-old James Walter Yates III of Maryland within days and charged him with second-degree murder while armed. Prosecutors said an argument escalated; in June 2014 Yates pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and admitted under oath that he shot Joyner in the head. At sentencing Yates received 15 years in prison.

Joyner was survived by his mother Bernadette Givens Joyner, his father Amos P. Joyner, two daughters Aniyah and Ayla Joyner, and other relatives and friends. Does anyone have memories of Andre or information about the events that led to the April 25 shooting?
