On September 20, 1992, 21-year-old Cavanaugh Holmes was shot at least once in the body in an alley in the 600 block of Farragut Street NW in Washington, D.C. The shooting occurred around 4 p.m. He was taken to Washington Hospital Center, where he died on the operating table that evening. Holmes lived nearby on the 5000 block of Fifth Street NW, near Sherman Circle.

The Metropolitan Police Department’s Homicide Branch investigated, but no motive was established and no suspects were identified in the immediate aftermath. The case grew cold and, decades later, remains unsolved; authorities are offering a substantial reward for information that could lead to an arrest and conviction.

Does anyone have information about Holmes, his routine that fall of 1992, or who might have been in that alley that afternoon?
