Washington DC police offer $60,000 reward for suspect in fatal shooting

WASHINGTON, DC — A citywide search is underway for Tyrell Lamonte Bailey, 27, who is wanted for a weapons violation that left a police officer dead. In a coordinated effort, the FBI, ATF, U.S. Marshals Service and local law enforcement have increased the reward to $60,000 for information leading to Bailey’s arrest and conviction.

The incident occurred on Wednesday, August 28, at approximately 5:40 p.m., when officers with the Robbery Suppression Unit observed a man, later identified as Bailey, exiting a suspicious vehicle in the 4500 block of Quarles Street, Northeast. When officers attempted to make contact, Bailey fled, heading southbound toward I-295 and jumping off a retaining wall. He was then seen placing a firearm in a storm drain before escaping on the back of a motorcycle. The driver of the motorcycle has since been identified and located.

Unfortunately, as the police officers attempted to retrieve the firearm from the gutter, it discharged, fatally injuring one officer. Despite rapid medical intervention and transport by helicopter to a hospital, the officer could not be saved.

Bailey is 5’6″ and weighs about 180 pounds. He has tattoos on both arms. He is currently wanted in Washington Superior Court for unlawful possession of a firearm.

A $60,000 reward is being offered, with contributions from the MPD, FBI Washington Field Office, ATF Washington Field Division and the U.S. Marshals Service.

Anyone with information is asked to call 202-727-9099 or provide information anonymously by texting 50411. The ongoing investigation is being conducted by MPD’s NIBIN Investigations Unit, with assistance from federal partners.
