In the early morning hours of a late summer day, the life of a young man from Washington, D.C. was tragically cut short. On Saturday, September 25, 2010, at approximately 1:55 am, the sounds of gunfire pierced the night in the 4400 block of Georgia Avenue, NW. When officers from the Fourth District arrived at the scene near the intersection of Georgia Avenue and Allison Street NW, they found a man lying on the ground, having sustained multiple gunshot wounds.
The victim was identified as 19-year-old David Weston of Southeast, DC. Emergency medical services were dispatched and transported him to a local hospital in an effort to save his life.
Despite their efforts, David Weston was pronounced dead, becoming another victim of gun violence in the city.
The Metropolitan Police Department immediately launched a homicide investigation into the shooting death of the male teenager. His case is listed as an unsolved homicide, and authorities have continued to seek assistance from the public to gather any information that might lead to the apprehension of those responsible for his death. To this day, the circumstances surrounding the shooting and the motive behind it remain unclear, and no arrests have been publicly announced in connection with the murder of David Weston.
