On the evening of September 8, 2005, Nico M. Hughes was found with gunshot wounds in the 1700 block of Lincoln Road NE in Washington, D.C., at about 10:00 p.m. The wounds proved fatal and he died that night. The Metropolitan Police Department’s Violent Crimes Branch opened an investigation into the shooting, which remains an active case.

Authorities have asked the public for information and have offered a reward of up to $25,000 for tips that lead to an arrest and conviction. An obituary notes Hughes was a father of four and lists surviving parents, a sister, a grandfather, a great-great-grandmother, and other relatives and friends who mourned him. No suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced.
