In the early hours of March 9, 2005, 37-year-old Dwaine Edward Bethea, an African-American man known as Woo, was found fatally shot at the corner of 13th and V Streets SE in Washington, D.C. Officers arrived just after 1:45 a.m.; Bethea had multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene. The Metropolitan Police Department’s Violent Crimes Branch investigated, and detectives and crime scene technicians processed the intersection, marking shell casings and interviewing residents who might have seen or heard something that night.

Authorities continued to appeal to the public for information as the case went cold. Who knew Dwaine Bethea or was in that neighborhood that night and can help bring answers?
