On the evening of August 14, 1974, John Raymond Herse and his wife were walking back to their hotel in the Rosslyn area of Arlington, Virginia after dining at the Orleans House Restaurant when three unknown men accosted them from behind. The assailants shoved Herse to the ground; as he tried to rise, one of the men shot him. The suspects fled immediately and no arrests have been made.

Investigators obtained limited descriptions of two of the men. One was described as a slim Black male in his 20s, about 5 feet 7 inches to 5 feet 8 inches tall, wearing a black hat, glasses, a dark jacket possibly leather, and a white t-shirt. A second man was similar in height and build and wore a plaid coat. No detailed description was available for the third person.

Who else remembers this incident or has information about the three men seen that night?
