Sergio A. Verastegui, 21, was shot and killed on January 10, 2016, at about 5:45 p.m. in the 2000 block of 32nd Place SE in the Hillcrest neighborhood of Southeast Washington, D.C. Police pronounced him dead at the scene. His parents, Shontina and Alfonzo Verastegui, traveled to Washington that night, filed a missing person report the next day and later said he had been dropped off in the area intending to buy illicit narcotics. His mother called him a decent good person and the family has asked for justice.

The Metropolitan Police Department described the murder as the third homicide in the District that year and said it was an unusual act of violence in a normally quiet residential block. A $25,000 reward was offered for information leading to an arrest, but no arrests or suspects have been reported and the investigation remains open.

Did anyone in Hillcrest or nearby see Sergio that evening or notice anything suspicious around 32nd Place SE?
