On Sunday, October 16, 1994, 25-year-old Sean McNeil Anderson, an African-American man, was found dead behind the Benning Stoddert Recreation Center near East Capitol Street and Stoddert Place SE in Southeast Washington, D.C., alongside another young man, Marqueit Dalvin Ward. The Metropolitan Police Department investigated the scene, classified both deaths as a double homicide and described Sean’s death as death by force. The case was assigned to the department’s Major Crimes Unit and became one of the unsolved killings that later appeared on cold-case lists and reward flyers.

Reward notices from the Metropolitan Police Department offered up to $50,000 for information and urged anyone with knowledge to contact detectives. More than thirty years after the killings, no suspect has been publicly named and there are no records of arrests linked to these murders. Does anyone have information that could help bring Sean and Marqueit’s families some answers?
