Jose Ochoa was a 17-year-old high school senior stabbed to death on Sunday, December 20, 2015, in the Petworth neighborhood of Northwest Washington, D.C. A student at Paul International High School, he had reportedly been accepted to two colleges and hoped to be the first in his family to attend.

On the evening of his death his mother dropped him off on Georgia Avenue to meet his girlfriend. At approximately 5:18 p.m. he was attacked and stabbed multiple times in the 4100 block of Eighth Street NW. He was taken to a local hospital and died of his injuries. Family members said personal items were stolen during the incident, including a silver chain, an iPhone 6, and his black Foamposite shoes.

The Metropolitan Police Department opened a homicide investigation and offered up to a $25,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction. Reports do not contain any arrests or identified suspects. Does anyone have information about Jose, the items taken, or that evening in Petworth?
