Eric Linnair Wright, 53, was shot and killed in Washington, D.C., on the night of February 17, 2017. Police responded about 9:21 p.m. to the 900 block of 12th Street Northeast after reports of gunfire and found Wright unresponsive with a gunshot wound; he was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead. Wright, who lived in Northwest D.C., was known to some as Mustafa or Fish and had a passion for training and breeding dogs.

The Metropolitan Police Department later released surveillance video and offered a substantial reward while investigating two persons of interest. On December 4, 2020, authorities arrested 39-year-old Cotey Wynn of Southeast D.C., charging him with Second Degree Murder while Armed after an anonymous tip allegedly identified him in the released footage. At the time of the arrest Wynn was employed as a violence interrupter for Cure the Streets and was under supervision by the Pretrial Services Agency. A preliminary hearing was scheduled to determine whether the case would proceed to trial.

If anyone knew Eric, saw activity near 12th Street Northeast on February 17, 2017, or has information about the people in the released video, please share what is known.
