Do you know who murdered Andre Pee? On a late Sunday evening in Washington, D.C., the life of 14-year-old Andre Pee was tragically cut short. On September 24, 2006, at approximately 11:15 pm, Pee and another man, 32-year-old Curtis Watkins, were found shot to death in the 3400 block of 13th Place, SE. The area, a dead-end street, had gained a reputation for drug-related activities and the sound of gunfire was not uncommon to its residents.
Andre, who was also known by the nickname 'Buckethead,' was just beginning his
journey into young adulthood. He was a freshman at Ballou Senior High School. In the months leading up to his death, police records indicated that he had been picked up for curfew violations on two separate occasions. His untimely death was part of a sudden increase in violence that gripped the city, causing alarm among its citizens and leaders.
In the years that have passed since the fatal shooting, the case of Andre Pee and Curtis Watkins has remained unsolved. The Metropolitan Police Department has continued to seek assistance from the public in gathering any information that might lead to a breakthrough in the investigation. Authorities have offered a substantial reward for any tips that result in the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for this double homicide.
Despite the passage of time, the investigation into the deaths of Andre Pee and Curtis Watkins is still open. Detectives from the department's Violent Crimes Branch are in charge of the case. No suspects have been publicly identified, and no arrests have been made, leaving the families of the victims and the community still waiting for answers and for justice to be served.
