Do you know who murdered Kenneth Hodge? In the late afternoon of an otherwise ordinary Wednesday in the nation's capital, events unfolded that would permanently alter the course of a man's life and leave a community with unanswered questions. On April 27, 2005, inside an apartment at 3510 18th Street, SE, in Washington, D.C., a grim discovery was made. Kenneth Barry Hodge, a male, was found suffering from gunshot wounds.
The call to authorities came in at approximately 4:10 p.m., bringing officers from the Metropolitan Police
Department to the Southeast D.C. residence. There, they found Mr. Hodge, who had been fatally wounded. The circumstances surrounding the shooting were not immediately clear, and the investigation into his death began.
In the years that have followed, the case of Kenneth Barry Hodge's death has remained open. The Metropolitan Police Department's Violent Crimes Branch has been handling the investigation, but no arrests have been made, and no suspects have been publicly identified. The motive behind the shooting remains a part of the ongoing inquiry. Authorities continue to appeal to the public for any information that might lead to a breakthrough in the case, offering a substantial reward for assistance that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for this long-unsolved homicide.
