In the early hours of a Sunday morning in Washington, D.C., the life of a young man was tragically cut short. Fifteen-year-old Ryan T. Harris was shot and killed on March 16, 2008, in the 3100 block of Apple Road, NE. The incident occurred sometime between midnight and 2:07 a.m., leaving a community to grapple with the sudden and violent loss of a teenage boy.
Details surrounding the circumstances of the shooting remain scarce. The Metropolitan Police Department's Homicide Branch is actively investigating the case and has appealed to the public for assistance.
A substantial reward of up to $25,000 has been offered for any information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for this homicide.
In the years that have passed since Ryan's death, no arrests have been publicly announced, and the case remains an open investigation. The authorities continue to seek information from anyone who might have knowledge of the events that transpired on that March night. Ryan was born on August 11, 1992. His sudden passing left behind his grieving mother, father, two sisters, and a brother, along with a host of other relatives and friends.
