Eural Cotton, known as Big E to friends and family, was shot and killed in the early morning of August 6, 2002. The shooting occurred about 5:04 a.m. at 1345 4th Street NE in Washington, D.C. He was a father, and the Metropolitan Police Department responded and opened an investigation.

Despite periodic appeals for public assistance, no arrests have been announced and no suspects have been publicly identified. The motive and circumstances remain unresolved, and the case is still listed as an open major unsolved homicide by the department.

Does anyone who lived or was in that area on August 6, 2002, have information that could help bring answers for Cotton’s family?
