Paul Matthew Zeller was 24 and an Iraq war veteran when he was shot to death on the night of June 30, 2006, in Arlington, Virginia. He had taken the Metro to Pentagon City after finishing a shift at a car dealership in College Park, stopped briefly at a Harris Teeter grocery store, and was walking home toward his sister’s residence in the Aurora Highlands neighborhood. As he walked along the 1300 block of S. Joyce Street an unknown assailant shot him at close range; he was found on the sidewalk at 12:06 a.m. and pronounced dead at the scene after sustaining multiple upper-body gunshot wounds.

Family members reported he did not appear to have been robbed, and investigators have described the killing as unusually violent for a populated, normally safe area. Arlington County police released surveillance video showing Zeller entering and leaving the grocery store minutes before the shooting and pursued various leads, but no suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced. A reward has been offered for information that could help resolve the case.

Does anyone recall seeing Paul that night near Pentagon Row or along S. Joyce Street who hasn’t already spoken with police?
