Street memorial for Stephon Chew | 100 block of Irvington Street SW DC

From a DC police report: Detectives from the Metropolitan Police Department’s Homicide Branch are investigating a homicide that occurred on Friday, February 5, 2021, in the 100 block of Irvington Street SW, Washington DC. At approximately 1:46 am, members of the Seventh District responded to the listed location for the report of a shooting. Upon arrival, members located an adult male victim, inside a residence, suffering from gunshot wounds. DC Fire and Emergency Medical Services responded to the scene and transported the victim to an area hospital. After all life-saving efforts failed, the victim was pronounced dead. The decedent has been identified as 28 year-old Stephon Chew, of Southeast, DC.

I was looking for another possible shrine to another person killed in this same block on Aug. 9, 2022. A neighbor said this particular shrine was for a killing that had occurred about 2 years earlier. She said the man killed and honored by the shrine "was a good guy.”’

May all concerned and this neighborhood know real peace.
