In the early morning of Sunday, September 6, 2015, gunfire broke out on the 6400 block of 7th Street NW in Washington, D.C. Police found 55-year-old Uyer Barnard Hooper with a gunshot wound; he was transported to a hospital and later died of his injuries. Before he died, Hooper identified the man who shot him, and that statement was used by investigators to identify a suspect.

Another man was wounded in the same incident but survived. An arrest was made the same day: Dejuan Etheredge was taken into custody in connection with the fatal shooting. Prosecutors later relied on Hooper’s final words as evidence, and during proceedings the prosecution argued the shooting was related to drug dealings; a judge rejected the use of the suspect’s alleged criminal profile as irrelevant.

Does anyone have information about Hooper, the 6400 block of 7th Street NW at that time, or the events of that morning?
