On the night of September 17, 2005, 34-year-old Gregory C. Shipe was shot and killed while walking his dog in the 1700 block of Irving Street NW in Mount Pleasant, Washington, D.C. Police found Shipe at the scene with a gunshot wound to the face; his dog Otis later returned to Shipe’s apartment on Kenyon Street. Shipe worked as a financial analyst.

Investigators found no clear motive. Wallet and other possessions were not taken, and a neighbor said they heard two male voices talking shortly before a loud sound, but saw nothing unusual when they looked outside. The Metropolitan Police Department opened an investigation, and a reward has been offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction, but no suspects have been publicly identified or charged.

Anyone who knew Gregory, was in Mount Pleasant that night, or has information that could help investigators is urged to come forward.
