From a DC Police report: Detectives from the Metropolitan Police Department’s Homicide Branch are investigating a homicide that occurred on Tuesday, May 19, 2020, in the 2400 block of Martin Luther King Jr Avenue SE, Washington DC. At approximately 1:39 pm, members of the Seventh District responded to the listed location for the sounds of gunshots. Upon arrival, officers located two adult males and an adult female suffering from gunshot wounds. DC Fire and Emergency Medical Services responded to the scene and determined the two male victims displayed no signs consistent with life. The female victim was transported to a local hospital for treatment of life threatening injuries.
The decedents have been identified as Jaszel Henderson, 20, and Terrance Griffin, 31, both of Southeast DC.
These two memorials are just off the main avenue. May these two men have eternal rest.
