Street memorial in the 1300 block of Southern Avenue SE, DC

I found this weathered street shrine in the 1300 block of Southern Avenue SE, Washington DC. I believe, but am not certain, that it is for Preston Cornelius Johnson Sr. and Preston Cornelius Johnson, Jr., who lost their lives nearby in late December 2014.

Please let me know if you have more accurate information.

From the DC police report: On Sunday, December 28, 2014, at approximately 9:50 pm, a police officer from the Seventh District was on routine patrol in the 1300 block of Southern Avenue SE, Washington DC. The police officer discovered two adult males, unconscious and unresponsive suffering from apparent gunshot wounds. Neither gunshot victims’ exhibited any signs consistent with life.  The first male gunshot victim has been identified as Preston Cornelius Johnson, 71, and the second male gunshot victim has been identified as Preston Cornelius Johnson, Jr., 49.

RIP. Healing and strength to the Johnson family.

Thanks to John Muller for his help.
