Raven Darnell Ray Carroll, 43, was shot dead in Southeast Washington on the night of Saturday, March 8, 2003. The Metropolitan Police Department assigned the case to its Homicide Branch, canvassed for witnesses and circulated a printed flier offering up to a $25,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction. The killing remains listed among the department’s Major Case/Unsolved Homicides for 2003, and no arrest has been publicly announced.

Carroll is remembered in obituaries and family remembrances as a devoted husband to Cynthia Carroll, father of Taressa Raven Carroll, and son of Randolph Puller and Cornelia Dickerson. Federal records from before his death show he was the focus of a June 2002 joint MPD–FBI probe into a large drug distribution network; subsequent civil forfeiture filings in November 2003 described seized funds tied to allegations he was a principal participant in that conspiracy. The shooting itself, however, remains unsolved with investigators still seeking information from anyone who might know what happened that night on Condon Terrace SE.

Did anyone in the community or who knew Raven have information about his movements that evening or about people he may have been with?
