Omar Earl Rodgers was 25 when he was shot and killed in Southeast Washington, D.C., in the early morning of October 8, 2017. Rodgers, a singer who performed as Big O, had just finished a set with his band at the Uniontown Bar and Grill in Anacostia and was in the parking lot around 3:50 a.m. after the bar was closing. An argument with a group in a red car followed; Rodgers accidentally backed into that car, then drove around the corner and parked.

A man walked up to Rodgers’ vehicle and fired multiple shots through the passenger-side window, striking him several timeS. The shooter fled in the same red car. Officers found Rodgers wounded in his Mercedes-Benz on the 1300 block of Good Hope Road; he was taken to a hospital and later died. He was the father of two young sons and his mother was battling cancer at the time. Two men were later arrested in connection with the killing.

Did anyone in the neighborhood see the red car or the confrontation that night?
