Homicide

Dwight Way / College AvenueJuly 18, 2005

On July 17, 2005 at about 1:46 AM, a group of females were walking in the area of Dwight Way and College Avenue when they came into contact with another group of people. There was a brief argument between the two groups, which appeared to have ended without incident.

Shortly after the argument ended, a car drove up Dwight Way and stopped. A suspect got out of the car, drew a gun and fired multiple shots in the direction of the group of females. At least one of the rounds shot by the suspect hit one of the females, who died at the scene. The suspect then got back into the car and fled eastbound on Dwight.

The suspect is described as follows:

A black male in his 20’s, 5’10” tall with a thin build. The suspect was wearing a white t-shirt and blue jeans.
