Do you know who murdered Damien Turner? In the late afternoon of a Tuesday in Washington, D.C., the life of Damien Anthony Turner was tragically cut short. On February 28, 2006, at approximately 3:30 pm, Turner was shot and killed at the intersection of 18th Street and Independence Avenue, SE. Born on January 5, 1980, the 26-year-old man became another victim of gun violence in the city.
The Metropolitan Police Department responded to the scene, and an investigation into the shooting was launched.
Turner's case is being handled by the department's Violent Crimes Branch. Despite their efforts, the circumstances surrounding the shooting and a motive have remained elusive to the public. The case is now considered a cold case, one of the many unsolved homicides in the District of Columbia.
In an ongoing effort to bring justice for Damien Turner and his family, the Metropolitan Police Department continues to seek assistance from the public. They are offering a substantial reward of up to $25,000 for any information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for his death. To date, no arrests have been made, and no suspects have been publicly identified in connection with the homicide. The investigation remains open.
