In the pre-dawn hours of a late spring morning in Washington, D.C., the life of Edward H. Pope, a male resident of the city, was tragically cut short. On Sunday, May 30, 2010, at approximately 4:35 a.m., Pope was shot and killed in the 100 block of 53rd Street, Southeast. Known to friends and family as 'Big Pope,' his sudden and violent death left a void in the lives of those who knew him.
Edward was the son of Denise Pope and a father to his young son, Darius. His family, including his sister Kimberly and two aunts, Karen and Leslie, were left to mourn his passing. The investigation into his murder was taken up by the Metropolitan Police Department, which has continued to seek the public's assistance in gathering information regarding the incident.
In the years that have followed, the case has remained open and is an active investigation.
Despite the passage of time, there has been no public announcement of any arrests made or suspects identified in connection with the fatal shooting of Edward Pope. The circumstances surrounding his death remain a painful mystery for his family and the community. The Metropolitan Police Department continues to encourage anyone with information to come forward, hopeful that a breakthrough will eventually bring closure to his loved ones and justice for his untimely death.
