Joe Roosevelt Richbow Jr., 36, was shot dead inside an apartment in the 2400 block of Elvans Road SE in Southeast Washington, D.C., on Wednesday afternoon, September 18, 2012. Police found Richbow, a resident of Upper Marlboro, Maryland, deceased at the scene; the shooting was reported at about 2:14 p.m. The Metropolitan Police Department opened a homicide investigation and offered a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction, but the case remains unsolved.

At the time of his death Richbow was on probation for a prior firearms conviction after a previous arrest at the same Elvans Road location for possession of a .44-caliber revolver; he had received a suspended 18-month sentence and three years probation. He was also facing a felony drug charge in Prince George’s County with a trial set for December 2012 and was charged with a probation violation in the District. Authorities did not say whether they believed his past legal troubles were connected to the homicide, though his attorney noted investigators would logically examine that possibility.

Did anyone in the community know Joe Richbow or have information about his activities in Southeast D.C. around September 2012?
