In the late afternoon of Wednesday, March 28, 2007, a burst of violence shattered the day in a Southeast Washington, D.C. neighborhood. Troy D. Bussey, a male, was shot and killed at approximately 4:11 p.m. in the 4600 block of G Street, SE. The incident left a family and community grappling with a sudden and tragic loss.
Troy was the beloved son of Karen M. Bussey and Troy L. Baltimore. He was also a brother to his sister, DeShanta Lindsay, and his brother, Qamar Tibbs.
His death prompted an immediate investigation by the Metropolitan Police Department's Violent Crimes Branch, who classified the case as a homicide.
In the years that have followed, the case of Troy Bussey's murder has grown cold. Despite appeals to the public for information and the offer of a substantial reward for tips leading to an arrest and conviction, no suspects have been publicly identified, and no arrests have been made. The investigation remains open, a lingering source of pain for his loved ones who still await justice for his untimely death. The official records of the incident do not specify his age or ethnicity.
