On the evening of Memorial Day, May 25, 2015, 31-year-old Tamara Gliss was shot while attending a barbecue outside her apartment in the 600 block of O Street NW in the Shaw neighborhood of Washington, D.C. The gunfire began about 8:51 p.m.; witnesses reported a gunman who fled on a dirt bike. Gliss, known as Yamz, was taken to a hospital and later died. She was a devoted mother to her 12-year-old son DeVontae and had worked for D.C.

Public Schools as a behavior technician and as a supervisor for a food-service vendor. Her mother Sandy described her as supportive and active in the community. Detectives believed Gliss may not have been the intended target but was sitting near someone the shooter aimed at. A reward of up to $25,000 was offered for information, and the Metropolitan Police Department opened a homicide investigation that, as reported, was closed in 2016 after the identified suspect died.

Does anyone who knew Tamara or was in that area that night have information to share?
