EZell Hill, 22, was shot dead just after midnight on Tuesday, February 4, 2025, while working a food delivery job on his scooter in the 3100 block of 16th Street Northwest. Officers from the Third District found him unconscious and not breathing; D.C. Fire and Emergency Medical Services attempted life-saving measures but he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Family members described Hill as kindhearted, someone who wouldn’t bother a soul and who was trying to make his own way; he had hoped to enroll in an IT job training program. The Metropolitan Police Department has opened a homicide investigation and is searching for a dark-colored Toyota sedan that may have been involved. No motive has been released and no arrests have been announced. A reward of up to $25,000 is being offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

Did anyone working, living, or driving near 16th Street Northwest that night see a dark-colored Toyota sedan or other activity that could help investigators?
