Edmund Acofio-Sowah was 45 when he was fatally shot while driving his taxicab in Capitol Heights, Prince George’s County, Maryland, in January 2005. An obituary noted his passing as sudden on January 27, 2005. His killing came during a year that produced a record number of homicides in the county and placed heavy demands on the Prince George’s County Police Department.

Detectives opened an investigation amid a surge of killings, but the case produced few viable leads. There have been no public announcements about persons of interest, suspects, or arrests in connection with his murder, and the investigation appears to have gone cold.

If anyone knew Edmund, his routes, coworkers, or saw anything in Capitol Heights around the time of the shooting, please share information that could help bring answers to his family.
