On the afternoon of Saturday, June 25, 2005, gunfire shattered the quiet in the 2200 block of 13th Street SE in Washington, D.C. At about 4 p.m. 32-year-old Althronia Brown was shot and killed in a brazen daylight slaying that left his family and neighbors reeling.

The Metropolitan Police Department has kept the case open and active, but no arrests have been announced and no suspects have been publicly identified. The investigation is now treated as a cold case; a reward of up to $25,000 has been offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction. Investigators say even the smallest detail could break the case.

If anyone remembers seeing or hearing anything in the 2200 block of 13th Street SE around 4 p.m. on June 25, 2005, or has information about Althronia Brown’s death, please come forward.
