Phillip Roache, 38, was shot dead late on the night of September 17, 2020, while pumping gas in the 7000 block of Blair Road NW in Washington, D.C. Police say a male assailant approached and fired a silver pistol multiple times, striking Roache ten times. Roache was found unconscious on the 7000 block of 5th Street NW and was pronounced dead at the scene; he lived in Waldorf, Maryland. Another man at the scene sustained a non-life-threatening gunshot wound.

Investigators say surveillance footage from the gas station and a nearby convenience store helped identify a suspect. Authorities located a gray Mitsubishi near the scene with a dry windshield on a rainy night and found receipts linking the vehicle to Waldorf. On October 25, 2020, a 34-year-old man, Jacobi Williams, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder while armed; a judge later found probable cause to send the case to trial.

Did anyone in the area around Blair Road or Waldorf see anything that night or recognize the vehicle described?
