Timothy Pretlow, a 45-year-old male, was killed in a shooting on the evening of Thursday, December 1, 2016, in Washington, D.C.. The incident occurred at approximately 7:29 p.m. in the 1800 block of Capitol Avenue, Northeast. Mr. Pretlow was one of two men shot during the attack. He was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead. The second victim sustained non-life-threatening injuries.
For two years, the case remained under investigation by the Metropolitan Police
Department, who sought assistance from the public to gather information regarding the homicide. Friends and family remembered Timothy, who was known by the nickname 'Timmy,' as a sweet, funny, and smart individual who was a bit of a joker.
