Adrian Burgess, a Black man from Washington, D.C., was stabbed on the unit block of 15th Street NE late on the night of Saturday, November 18, 2006, and died after being found critically injured by Metropolitan Police officers. The death notice lists his passing as occurring on Sunday, November 19, 2006. He was a father to two young sons, Adrian J. Burgess Jr. and Isaiah, and is remembered by family members including partner Corvette Burke, his father Alton Wise Jr., the late Elsie Francine Burgess, and three sisters, Lavelle Calhoun, Carlene, and Charlene Burgess.

The case was investigated by the MPD Violent Crimes Branch and remains listed among the District’s unsolved homicides for 2006. The department issued a reward flyer offering up to $25,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction; no suspects have been publicly named and no arrests have been announced. Few details beyond the time, location, and cause of the attack have been released.

Does anyone who was in the 15th Street NE area that night or who knew Adrian have information that could help bring answers?
