Tanya Thompson was 25 and a mother of four when she was killed on the evening of November 12, 2002, in Washington, D.C. She and longtime friend 20-year-old Latosha Graham had taken shelter from rain inside a parked van in the 4800 block of Alabama Avenue SE with two male acquaintances. About 9:30 p.m., a passing vehicle opened fire on the van, reportedly with an assault rifle. Both women were fatally wounded; the two men were injured but survived.

Investigators concluded the attack was likely a case of mistaken identity, believing the intended target had been in the van earlier but was gone by the time of the shooting. No arrests have been announced and the double homicide remains unsolved.

Did anyone in the community see that van or the vehicle that fired on Alabama Avenue SE that night?
