On the morning of October 9, 2018, Robert Merritt, 26, was fatally shot in the 1600 block of Montana Avenue Northeast in Washington, D.C. The shooting occurred at approximately 8:19 a.m.; emergency responders pronounced Merritt dead at the scene. The Metropolitan Police Department opened a homicide investigation, canvassed the neighborhood, and asked the public for leads.

Known to some as Robbie, Merritt is survived by family who were already grieving the earlier loss of his younger brother. A reward was offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction, but no arrests have been announced and the case remained open as unsolved. Few additional details about a motive or suspect identity have been released.

Can anyone who was in that area the morning of October 9, 2018, or who knew Robert, provide information that could help investigators?
