In the early morning hours of a cold Thursday in Washington, D.C., the life of 21-year-old Duane Woolfolk was tragically cut short. On December 10, 2020, at approximately 3:06 a.m., the sound of gunfire echoed through the 3200 block of 23rd Street, Southeast. When police arrived at the scene, they found Mr. Woolfolk suffering from gunshot wounds. Despite the efforts of emergency medical personnel, he succumbed to his injuries.
The Metropolitan Police Department quickly launched a
homicide investigation into the shooting death of the young male. Information about what led to the fatal shooting has been scarce, and details about any potential motive have not been released to the public. The case is listed among the city's unsolved homicides from that year, a somber reminder of a life taken too soon and a family left without answers.
To date, there has been no public announcement of any arrests made in connection with the murder of Duane Woolfolk. The police have not named any suspects or persons of interest in the case. Authorities have appealed to the public for assistance, urging anyone with information to come forward. A reward has been offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for this violent act, but so far, it appears no one has provided the key information needed to solve the case and bring closure to his loved ones.
