On the evening of April 9, 2017, 25-year-old swim instructor Zaan Scott was walking home in Southeast Washington, D.C., after a shift and stopped at a corner store to buy candy for his fiancée. Near his apartment on Southern Avenue two men approached from behind in an attempted robbery. Scott resisted, was shot once in the back and fell to the street. The bullet lodged near his spine; doctors said it was too risky to remove. He called his fiancée from the scene and survived for over a month, left paralyzed from the waist down and undergoing rehabilitation.

Scott died on May 17, 2017, of a blood clot formed as a direct result of the gunshot wound; his death was ruled a homicide. The community where he taught swimming, known there as Coach Z, raised funds to help with his medical costs. Who has information about the April 9 robbery or the people involved that could still help investigators or Scott’s family?
