On the night of Sunday, September 24, 2017, at about 11:05 PM, 55-year-old Tsegaye Gebrehiwot was violently assaulted during a robbery in the 5100 block of 2nd Street NW in Washington, D.C. He survived the initial attack but suffered severe injuries, including a traumatic brain injury.

Mr. Gebrehiwot died on Monday, November 13, 2017, from complications of that traumatic brain injury. His death turned the matter from an assault and robbery into a homicide investigation. The Metropolitan Police Department lists the case among the city’s unsolved homicides for 2017 and has not released information about suspects or arrests.

Anyone who was in northwest D.C. on September 24, 2017, or who has information about that robbery or the people involved is asked to come forward.
