Two suspects are in custody in connection with this incident. They are 24-year-old Keymonte Day of Washington, DC, and 22-year-old Christopher Jamar Jenkins of Capitol Heights. The preliminary investigation revealed that Matthews and Day were staying at the motel when multiple male suspects entered their room in an attempt to rob Matthews. Those male suspects included Moore and Jenkins. During the attempted robbery, there was a shooting inside of the room. Both Moore and Matthews were struck. The remaining male suspects, as well as Day, all fled the motel together. The preliminary investigation revealed Day conspired with the male suspects to rob Matthews. Day and Jenkins face multiple charges to include first degree murder.

This remains an active investigation. Detectives are working to identify and arrest any additional suspects.
