Martinez Johnson | police tape, 1600 block of Maryland Avenue NE DC

From a DC Police Report: Detectives from the Metropolitan Police Department’s Homicide Branch are investigating a homicide that occurred on Sunday, June 5, 2022, in the 1600 block of Maryland Avenue NE, Washington, DC. At approximately 9:03 am, members of the Fifth District responded to the listed location for the report of a shooting. Upon arrival, members located an adult male victim suffering from apparent gunshot wounds. DC Fire and Emergency Medical Services responded to the scene and found that the victim displayed no signs consistent with life. The decedent has been identified as 31-year-old Martinez Johnson, of Northeast, DC. 

I am acquainted with part of Mr. Johnson's extended family. His father, also named Martinez Johnson, also lost his life to violence on the streets of DC many years ago. May all in his circle of friends, family, and community know healing and peace.
