Thomas Lanell Pooh Batchelor was a son, father, and fiancé whose life was cut short by gunfire in Southeast Washington, D.C. He was shot on November 2, 2001, on the 200 block of 36th Street SE and was later recorded by his family as having died November 3, 2001. Police found him with fatal gunshot wounds and the incident was classified as a homicide.

The Metropolitan Police Department’s Violent Crimes Branch handled the inquiry and the department issued a reward flier offering up to $25,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction. Funeral arrangements were held at Ward Memorial AME Church with burial at Lincoln Memorial Cemetery in Suitland, Maryland.

Does anyone who knew Thomas, his family, or who was in that area on November 2, 2001 have information that could help close this case?
