In the early morning of May 26, 1988, Albert Lewis Lufsey, 37, of Alexandria, Virginia, was shot in the chest and killed while with a female companion in the 2000 block of O Street NW, in Dupont Circle, Washington, D.C. Two men approached at about 1:00 a.m.; one shot Lufsey while the other took the companion’s purse. The assailants fled and Lufsey died of his wounds.

Police treated the incident as an armed robbery; it was the second homicide in that small area within a month. Despite an ongoing Metropolitan Police Department investigation and a reward of up to $25,000 for tips leading to arrest and conviction, no arrests have been announced and no suspects have been publicly identified.

Anyone who knew Lufsey, his companion that night, or who may have seen activity around O Street NW on May 26, 1988, is asked to contact investigators with any information.
