For some reason google maps is showing wrong location for 700 block of 18th. Actual shooting happened in the on 18th between benning and H. Most likely in the alley that runs behind Food 7 store where he was found.
That might be my fault. I believe I put in 700 18th St NE to get a rough location for the block.
Any motive alleged?
