On the evening of Thursday, February 27, 2014, 19-year-old Tykia Dickerson was found with a gunshot wound on the sidewalk in the 3600 block of Jay Street NE in Washington, D.C., at about 8:34 p.m. Emergency personnel took her to a local hospital, where she was pronounced dead. She was a Black female from Southeast Washington, D.C., and 19 years old at the time.

Investigators traced the shooting to a domestic dispute and identified 19-year-old Daquan Hendrix of Hyattsville, Maryland, as the suspect. A warrant was issued for Hendrix and the Capital Area Regional Task Force, including U.S. Marshals and FBI agents, began searching multiple locations connected to him.

On the morning of Tuesday, March 18, 2014, officers attempted to arrest Hendrix at a residence at 77 K Street NW. Hendrix fled out the back of the building and opened fire; officers returned fire and Hendrix was shot. He was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead. No officers were injured, and with the death of the identified suspect the Metropolitan Police Department considered the case closed.

Did anyone in the neighborhood or who knew Tykia or Hendrix have information about the events leading up to the February 27 shooting?
