Anthony Clifford Parks, 48, was shot and killed on January 10, 2004, at about 6:30 pm in the 2100 block of 14th Street NW in Washington, D.C. A vendor at the U Street flea market, Parks was taken to Washington Hospital Center where he died of his injuries. The Metropolitan Police Department’s Violent Crimes Branch investigated, and a reward of $25,000 was offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction. No arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved.

Family and friends described Parks as a loving husband and father. His obituary used the name Tony and listed his wife, Debra, son Michael, and daughter Sareta A. A funeral service was held January 17, 2004, at St. Stephen’s Church of the Incarnation, with interment at Glenwood Cemetery.

Does anyone who shopped at or worked the U Street flea market in January 2004 remember seeing or hearing anything that could help?
