Edward Roberts Jr. was 29 when he was shot and killed in Washington, D.C., in the early morning hours of July 30, 2016. Police responded to reports of gunfire about 3:24 a.m. on the 3500 block of 14th Street NW and found Roberts suffering multiple gunshot wounds; he was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead.

A suspect, identified as Daryl Thompson (also known as Darryl Tompkins), was arrested in 2017 and charged with first-degree murder while armed in Roberts’s death. Thompson was also implicated in the fatal shooting of another man, Tyler McEachern, on August 29, 2016. Legal proceedings have been delayed by ongoing evaluations of Thompson’s mental competency to stand trial.

Anyone with information about Roberts, the shooting on 14th Street, or that night in July 2016 is asked to come forward.
