On a Tuesday evening in Washington, D.C., the sounds of city life were pierced by the report of gunfire. On March 11, 2003, in the 200 block of 56th Street, NE, a man named Sterling Lindsey was shot multiple times. When officers from the Sixth District arrived at the scene around 5 p.m., they found Mr. Lindsey lying on the ground, having succumbed to his injuries.
The case of Sterling Lindsey, a male resident of Washington, D.C., was classified as a homicide. Despite the investigation that followed, the identity of the person or persons responsible for his death remains unknown. The Metropolitan Police Department continues to list the case as unsolved. In an effort to bring closure to his family and see justice served, the department is offering a reward of up to $25,000 for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of those involved in his killing.
