Sephar Jean-Simon was 22 when he was fatally stabbed in the early hours of November 18, 2013. A Black male from Silver Spring, Maryland, he was attacked around 2:10 a.m. in the 1200 block of Connecticut Avenue NW in Dupont Circle after a large fight broke out on the sidewalk. Police arrived to a chaotic scene; an officer was reportedly thrown to the ground while trying to break up the melee. Jean-Simon was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead.

At the time he was a second-year student at University of Maryland University College studying toward a mechanical engineering career and worked in the campus dining facility. Family described him as the youngest of three sons, popular and comedic, not caught up in drinking, with a love of basketball and a well-cultivated personal style. No arrests were made in the immediate investigation, and the Metropolitan Police Department later listed his case among the major unsolved homicides for 2013.

Does anyone who was in the Dupont Circle area that night or who knew Sephar have information that could help resolve this case?
