Rahji Jerod Ross, 35, was shot and killed just before 4 a.m. on January 3, 2015, on the 2700 block of Bruce Place SE near the Anacostia Community Museum. He was a passenger in a car that was carjacked by two assailants; a struggle occurred and Ross suffered multiple gunshot wounds. He was conscious when police arrived but later died at a local hospital.

Witnesses in the Woodland Terrace area reported hearing at least seven gunshots and overheard someone say they were trying to rob the occupants. The Metropolitan Police Department described the suspects as two Black males wearing all black clothing and masks and offered a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to arrest and conviction. No arrests have been made.

His father said Ross had turned his life around, was working two jobs, and was devoted to providing for his children. If anyone has information that could help solve this killing, please share what you know with investigators.
