Oscar W. Powell, 34, was fatally shot near 158 W Street NW in Washington, D.C., on Monday, July 21, 2008, at approximately 10:22 p.m. Metropolitan Police officers responding to reports of gunfire found Powell suffering from gunshot wounds; he did not survive. He is also identified as Oscar Willis Powell, III, and is survived by two daughters, his parents, and siblings.

Detectives from the Special Victims Unit are leading the investigation, which remains an open and unsolved homicide. No suspects or arrests have been publicly identified. The Metropolitan Police Department has offered a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction and has urged anyone with relevant details to come forward.

Are there readers who remember that stretch of W Street or who have any information about the night of July 21, 2008 that could help investigators?
