In the late hours of a summer night in Washington, D.C., the life of Tracy Lamont Day was tragically cut short. On Friday, August 23, 2013, at approximately 11:12 pm, police responded to reports of a shooting in the 700 block of Langston Terrace, NE. There they found 38-year-old Tracy Lamont Day, a Black male from Bowie, Maryland, suffering from a gunshot wound.
Emergency services transported him to a local hospital, but his injuries proved fatal, and he was pronounced dead.
The initial investigation revealed that Day had been shot in the chest. The incident was one of several violent acts that occurred in the city over that weekend, contributing to a somber mood in the community.
