Damon Ward was 33 and an architect when he was killed by a stray bullet in Washington, D.C., on February 26, 2006. At about 2:54 a.m. he was outside 1208 U Street NW after attending a private party when gunfire from a confrontation he was not involved in struck him. He was taken to Howard University Hospital and pronounced dead at 7:11 a.m. A 21-year-old woman was also shot but survived with nonlife-threatening injuries.

Witnesses said three to four people fled the scene. Descriptions vary: some accounts say the suspects were of Ethiopian, Eritrean, or Somali descent and were speaking Amharic, with one speaking fluent English, and that they left in a dark-colored four-door pickup truck. Another witness described the getaway car as a small, dark, boxy four-door sedan resembling a 1970s model. No arrests have been made and the case remains unsolved. The Metropolitan Police Department has offered a reward for information leading to arrests and convictions.

Did anyone in the area that night see the vehicle or the people who ran from the scene?
