David S. Ashby, a Black/African American male, was shot and killed in Washington, D.C., on January 30, 2003. The Metropolitan Police Department recorded the death as a homicide and says the shooting occurred in front of 508 Division Avenue, NE. The department issued a homicide-victim notice and appealed to anyone with information to contact its Criminal Investigation Division Homicide Branch, offering a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

The police notice gave the location and confirmed the death was treated as a homicide but did not identify a motive, describe events immediately before the shooting, name a weapon, or identify any suspect. The notice did not list Ashby’s age.

Does anyone have information about Ashby, the circumstances on Division Avenue that night, or leads that could help investigators?
