In the winter of 2020, a burst of gunfire shattered the night in Southeast Washington, D.C., leaving a family grieving and a community searching for answers. On the evening of December 9th, 30-year-old Kelvin Gross was in the 1000 block of 13th Street, Southeast, when shots rang out shortly before 9:30 p.m. The male victim was struck by the gunfire in a double shooting that also wounded another adult male.
First responders arrived at the scene to find Kelvin Gross with gunshot wounds.
Despite their efforts, he was pronounced dead at the location. The second man who was shot was transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and survived the attack. Kelvin Gross was a resident of Oxon Hill, Maryland.
In the days that followed, the Metropolitan Police Department's Homicide Branch launched an investigation into the shooting. As of now, authorities have not publicly identified any suspects or made any arrests in connection with the murder of Kelvin Gross. The police have offered a 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.
