Tom Edward Hollar was 30 when he was shot and killed on the sidewalk outside his Capitol Hill-area apartment building on the early morning of July 23, 1993. He and his wife Christine had just returned to their building when two men in the parking lot demanded money and car keys; Hollar was killed while trying to protect his wife. Christine was forced into the attackers’ car, later found in an alley with severe injuries including a crushed orbital bone; she survived and later identified her assailants at trial.

Police charged Steven Harrington and Shane Davis. Witness descriptions and trial evidence, including a coin purse belonging to Davis found in the Hollars’ car, were introduced at trial. In 1994 both men were convicted of murder and related charges and sentenced to life plus 200 years. Questions were later raised about hair microscopy used in the original trial, but a subsequent DNA test on a hair found on a t-shirt near the abandoned car matched Steven Harrington.

Does anyone have memories of Imi Jimi or the Capitol Hill neighborhood in 1993 that might shed light on the night? Please share any information.
