Larry Eugene Morgan, a Black man, was fatally stabbed in the predawn hours of Thursday, April 30, 1998. The attack occurred at about 3:50 a.m. near the busy crossroads where Bladensburg Road meets New York Avenue NE, in the 2200 block of New York Avenue in Washington, D.C. Responding officers and detectives converged as morning traffic began to stir, but there were no witnesses willing or able to describe the moments leading to the knife’s flash and Morgan’s collapse.

The Metropolitan Police Department’s Major Case Squad handled the investigation, and a standing reward of up to $25,000 was offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction. Flyers and appeals were circulated, but authorities have not publicly identified any suspects and no arrests have been announced; the case remains an unsolved homicide. If anyone has information about that night at the 2200 block of New York Avenue NE, contact the investigators working the case.
