In the early morning hours of February 2, 2009, a sense of unease settled over the 3400 block of 13th Place SE in Washington, D.C. At approximately 2:30 a.m., the sound of gunfire shattered the quiet, prompting calls to the Metropolitan Police Department. When officers arrived at the scene, they discovered the body of 22-year-old Antawn Proctor, a Black male from Oxon Hill, who had sustained fatal gunshot wounds.
The investigation into Proctor's death was launched by the Homicide Branch of the Metropolitan Police Department. Detectives began the arduous process of piecing together the events that led to the shooting, appealing to the community for any information that might lead to the person or persons responsible for this violent act. Despite their efforts, the case grew cold, and the trail of the killer seemed to vanish into the night.
Years have passed since Antawn Proctor's life was cut short, yet his case remains an open and active investigation.
No arrests have been made, and no suspects have been publicly identified, leaving a void in the hearts of his family and a lingering question in the community. The Metropolitan Police Department continues to seek assistance from the public, offering a reward of up to $25,000 for any information that leads to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for his murder. The hope remains that a new lead will emerge, bringing a measure of justice for Antawn Proctor and closure to those who continue to mourn his loss.
