On the morning of November 28, 1975, 26-year-old John Marsh Cruikshank was found fatally shot in his apartment in the 2500 block of Q Street NW in Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Police officers arrived about 2:00 AM and discovered his body; the case quickly became an unsolved homicide.

The Major Case Squad has continued to investigate, but the motive and the identity of the shooter or shooters remain unknown. No arrests have been announced and there are no publicly named suspects. A reward of up to $25,000 has been offered for information that leads to an arrest and conviction.

Does anyone have information about John’s last known movements, visitors to that Q Street address that night, or other details that could help generate new leads?
