In the early hours of a Saturday morning in Washington, D.C., the life of 18-year-old Deandre Marshman was tragically cut short. On June 2, 2018, in the 1700 block of Lincoln Road, Northeast, gunshots shattered the predawn quiet. When officers from the Fifth District arrived at the scene around 1:13 a.m. responding to the report of shots fired, they discovered that a young man, a resident of Northeast, D.C., had been struck by gunfire.
Marshman, a male, was privately taken to a local
hospital for treatment of his injuries. Despite the efforts of medical personnel, he succumbed to his wounds and was pronounced dead. The Metropolitan Police Department launched a homicide investigation into his death. At the time of the initial reports, authorities had not released any information regarding potential suspects or any arrests made in connection with the shooting. The police appealed to the public for any information that might lead to the apprehension of those responsible for this act of violence.
The community was left to mourn the loss of a young life. Marshman was a student at Cardozo Education Campus. His death was another stark reminder of the toll of gun violence in the city. In the days and years that followed, there has been no publicly available information to indicate that an arrest has been made in his case, leaving a painful void for his family and friends who continue to seek justice.
