Jehu Arias was 30 when he was shot and killed in the early hours of May 27, 2006, on a residential stretch of Half Street SW in Washington, D.C. Police place the killing near 1322 Half Street SW, with the time of death given as about 3:37 a.m.; multiple gunshots left Arias fatally wounded in the narrow alley behind the row houses. Official records list the cause of death as multiple gunshot wounds and the case was handled by the Metropolitan Police Department’s Violent Crimes Branch.

A reward flyer offered up to $25,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction, and the killing was cataloged among the city’s major unsolved homicides for 2006. Friends and family maintained a small memorial in the alley behind 1322–1332 Half Street SW, with flowers and tokens marking the spot where Arias died.

Does anyone who knew Jehu or who remembers Half Street that night have information that could help bring clarity to this still-open homicide?
