Roland Cortez Mayo was fatally shot at about 3:20 a.m. on Sunday, November 6, 2005, on the 1900 block of 8th Street Northwest in Washington, D.C. The Metropolitan Police Department opened a homicide investigation, but the circumstances leading to the shooting have not been publicly released.

No person or persons of interest have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced. The Homicide and Sexual Offenses Branch is handling the case and the department has offered a reward of up to $25,000 for information that could lead to an arrest and conviction.

The slaying remains unsolved and the few available details leave major questions about motive and events that night. If anyone has information about Roland Mayo, his movements that morning, or the 1900 block of 8th Street Northwest around 3:20 a.m. on November 6, 2005, please contact investigators.
