Shortly after 1:43 a.m. on July 18, 2015, officers responding to reports of gunfire on the 1300 block of Riggs Street NW in the Logan Circle area found 33-year-old Charles Douglas of District Heights, Maryland, inside a vehicle with apparent gunshot wounds. Emergency personnel transported Douglas to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Investigators say an unknown person approached the car and fired multiple shots, and the Metropolitan Police Department opened a homicide investigation.

The killing was one of three homicides in the District that weekend. Despite an appeal for public help, no arrests or suspects have been publicly announced and the case grew cold, leaving Douglas’s family without answers. If anyone has information about Charles Douglas or the circumstances of the shooting, please come forward to assist the investigation.
