On the evening of March 5, 2014, 24-year-old Roshaine Henry was killed after a meeting in the 1200 block of Madison Street NW in Washington, D.C., with 20-year-old Corey Saxton. The meeting was reportedly for a drug transaction and, according to witnesses, Saxton was heard saying don’t move just before the sound of one or two gunshots. Henry was shot in the chest but managed to drive away; his car struck multiple parked vehicles and overturned in the 900 block of Madison Street. First responders found Henry in the backseat of the overturned car; he was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead.

Detectives traced the crime to Saxton with the help of court-ordered GPS monitoring he was wearing as a condition of probation; the device placed him at the shooting location at the time and showed him leaving afterward. Saxton was arrested on March 10, 2014, initially charged with second-degree murder while armed, later pleading guilty in May 2014 to voluntary manslaughter and receiving a 15-year sentence in August 2014.

Did anyone in the neighborhood see the vehicle before or after the shooting, or have information about the meeting that led to this confrontation?
