Just after midnight on September 22, 2019, shots were fired in the 200 block of 51st Street NE in Washington, D.C. Police arrived about 12:58 a.m. and found 21-year-old Rachid Ferguson of Northwest D.C. suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to a nearby hospital but died of his injuries.

Rachid had turned 21 two weeks earlier. Family described him as a caring son and brother who had won a science project award, been offered a scholarship, and planned to move south to attend junior college and pursue football. The Metropolitan Police Department’s Homicide Branch is investigating; a reward of up to $25,000 has been offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction. No arrests or suspects have been publicly announced.

Does anyone who was in that neighborhood the night of September 22, 2019, or who knew Rachid, have information that could help bring answers to his family?
