James Oh, 76, was fatally beaten during an armed robbery at his family’s Gold Corner Market on the 5500 block of Colorado Avenue NW in Washington, D.C. The attack occurred the evening of July 4, 2014, as he and his wife were closing. Two masked men entered; at least one had a handgun and demanded money. When Mrs Oh struggled to open the register and was struck, Mr Oh handed over about $3,000. He was then struck in the head with the handgun. The suspects fled in a black Jeep that had been reported stolen earlier that day; the vehicle was later recovered.

Mr Oh was taken to a hospital and died of his injuries on July 8, 2014, after four days in care. Neighbors remembered him as a kind, generous shopkeeper; a memorial grew outside the closed market. The Metropolitan Police released surveillance footage showing two Black males in hooded sweatshirts and masks and offered a reward for information. No arrests have been publicly announced and the case is believed to remain unsolved.

If anyone knew Mr Oh, saw the suspects, or has information about the stolen black Jeep, please come forward with tips.
