In honor of Dajuan Blakney | 500 Block 19th Street SE DC

From a DC Police report: Detectives from the Metropolitan Police Department’s Homicide Branch are investigating a homicide that occurred on Friday, April 21, 2023, in the 1500 Block of 19th Street SE, Washington DC. At approximately 12:11 am, while in route to a call for service, Sixth District officers located an adult male victim suffering from apparent gunshot wounds at the listed location. DC Fire and Emergency Medical Services responded to the scene and after finding no signs consistent with life, the victim remained on the scene until transported to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner. The decedent has been identified as 32-year-old Dajuan Blakney, of Southeast, DC.  

This large and creative shrine in memory of Mr. Blakney is in the entrance to an apartment building. Sadly, there are three other memorials within sight of this one. May all rest in peace and honor.
