In the late hours of November 11, 2020, a shooting in the Washington Highlands neighborhood of Southeast Washington, D.C. claimed the life of 47-year-old Jeanette Michelle Walls. The Black/African American woman, who was of no fixed address, was found in the 4300 block of Wheeler Road SE at approximately 10:25 p.m. suffering from a gunshot wound. Emergency services transported Walls to a nearby hospital, but she was ultimately pronounced dead.
The Metropolitan Police Department is
actively investigating the death of Jeanette Walls as a homicide and has reached out to the public for assistance. In an effort to generate leads, a reward of up to $25,000 has been offered for any information that results in the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for her death.
Two men were also wounded in the same incident and were taken to hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries. Despite the ongoing investigation, authorities have not released any descriptions or names of potential suspects. No arrests have been made in the case, which remains unsolved. The police continue to encourage anyone with information to come forward and contact them.
