On a frigid evening on December 19, 1995, 14-year-old LeRon Antywan Perkins was attacked and killed at the intersection of 12th and H Streets NE in Washington, D.C. The Hine Junior High School student had reportedly been walking to the corner store for his grandmother and was found about a block from his home. Initial reports conflicted about the method of attack, with some saying he was shot, but the Metropolitan Police Department and other accounts state he was fatally stabbed.

Despite the area’s usual activity, authorities said few witnesses came forward immediately. LeRon’s photograph later appeared on an Anacostia Wall of Remembrance honoring young victims of violence; his mother has spoken about the ongoing pain of the unsolved case. No arrests or public suspect identifications have been announced. A reward of up to $25,000 is being offered for information that leads to an arrest and conviction.

Does anyone have information about LeRon’s last movements or who might have been near 12th and H Streets NE that night?
