In the winter of 2016, a violent weekend in Washington, D.C. turned tragic for a young man from Fort Washington, Maryland. Roger Lewis Haggins, a 30-year-old male, was discovered in his car late on the night of Friday, January 8th, suffering from a critical gunshot wound to the head. The grim finding was made in the 2500 block of Pomeroy Road in Southeast D.C., a scene that would soon become the focus of a homicide investigation.
Emergency responders rushed Haggins to a local hospital,
where he fought for his life. Despite medical efforts, he succumbed to his injuries the following day, on Saturday, January 9, 2016. His death marked the second homicide in the District of Columbia that year, contributing to a series of violent incidents that unfolded over that weekend.
Detectives from the Metropolitan Police Department's Homicide Branch promptly began an investigation into the shooting. They have actively sought assistance from the public, appealing for any information that might lead to a breakthrough in the case. However, despite their ongoing efforts, no suspects have been publicly identified, and no arrests have been announced in connection with the murder of Roger Haggins. The case remains an unsolved homicide, leaving a quest for justice in its wake.
