On the night of April 19, 2004, at about 11:50 p.m., Damon Lamont Clark, a 27-year-old Black man, was shot in the 1400 block of Montello Avenue NE in Washington, D.C. He was found on the street with gunshot wounds and taken to Washington Hospital Center, where he was pronounced dead in the early hours of April 20. The Metropolitan Police Department’s Violent Crimes Branch opened a homicide investigation but no suspects were publicly identified at the time.

The case went cold over the years and remains unsolved. Law enforcement has continued to seek the public’s help, offering a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction. Clark was survived by numerous relatives and friends who continue to mourn his loss.

Did anyone in the neighborhood or who knew Damon have information that could help bring his killers to justice?
