Support Our Mission

Daily Stories | Homicides |

For the last five years, D.C. Witness has tracked and told the stories of every homicide in Washington, DC, covering more than a 1100 victims and cases. 

Over the years, we have been asked to cover other categories of crime. 

And, since the start of the year, we have been exploring what kinds of cases to add. 

We are proud to announce that when DC Court resumes at a more normalized schedule, we will begin following cases of domestic abuse and sexual assault in addition to homicide.

And the numbers there are startling. In October, D.C. Witness data shows that there were initial hearings for approximately 160 cases within those three categories.  

But expanding coverage needs greater resources.

So, we are looking to raise $50,000 by the end of the year to help support DC operations through 2021. 

If you value what we do, please support us with a $100 tax deductible donation. Any amount you can contribute can also help get us towards our goal to providing  great coverage on the DC criminal justice system.
