Metropolitan Police Investigate Homicide of Alexander Pavon-Rios, Offer $25,000 Reward for Information

Investigators from the Metropolitan Police Department are currently sifting through the events that unfolded last Friday when human remains were found in Southeast D.C., which have now been confirmed as a homicide resulting from gunshot wounds. The area in question, the 2600 block of Dunbar Road, became a scene of inquiry after police were called there early in the morning, around 6:56 a.m., with DC Fire and EMS subsequently verifying the death of the individual at the scene, just as reported on the official MPD news release.

The subsequent examination led by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner concluded the death was no accident, the victim, later identified as 18-year-old Alexander Pavon-Rios from Northwest D.C., had endured gunshot wounds.

This incident has spurred the Metropolitan Police to make a public appeal for information, underscoring the community's role in the pursuit of justice. They have promised up to $25,000 for any information that might lead to an arrest and conviction in this case. MPD’s call to action is clear: anyone who has knowledge of this tragic event should call the police at (202) 727-9099 or send a text tip to 50411.

The full details of the reward offer are available on the Metropolitan Police Department's website.
