On a late summer morning in Washington, D.C., the life of 71-year-old Eddie Curtis was tragically cut short. On Monday, August 14, 2023, at approximately 11:22 a.m., police responded to reports of a shooting in the 800 block of 10th Street, Northeast. Upon arrival, they discovered Mr. Curtis, a resident of Northeast, D.C., suffering from gunshot wounds.
Emergency services found no signs of life, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Metropolitan Police Department quickly launched a homicide investigation into the fatal shooting.

In the days following the shooting, the police department publicly released the images from the surveillance video, hoping to identify the individual. The department has offered a reward of up to $25,000 for any information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for the murder of Eddie Curtis.
