Deangelo Gatling was 18 when he was shot and killed on Sunday afternoon, January 12, 2014, in the 2300 block of 24th Street SE in Southeast Washington, D.C. He was found with a gunshot wound around 2:00 p.m., taken to a local hospital, and pronounced dead shortly after arrival. Family remembered him as an aspiring engineer who also enjoyed rapping in his free time.

Less than a month later, on February 7, 2014, members of the Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force arrested 24-year-old David Washington of Southeast D.C., identified by police as a suspect. Investigators say a witness reportedly identified Washington as the masked gunman, and prosecutors presented a car and video footage at a March 2014 preliminary hearing; a judge found probable cause to hold Washington on a charge of first-degree murder while armed. With the arrest and charges, the Metropolitan Police Department considered the case closed.

If anyone knew Deangelo or has information about what happened that afternoon, please share what is known.
