In the pre-dawn hours of Father's Day, June 21, 2020, the sound of gunshots echoed through the 1400 block of Kenilworth Avenue, Northeast in Washington, D.C. When police arrived at the scene around 2:20 a.m., they discovered a tragic scene. Twenty-three-year-old Larkia Izlar, a female from Southeast, D.C., was found inside a car, having sustained fatal gunshot wounds.
Alongside her was 28-year-old Timothy Hinton of Suitland, Maryland, who had also been shot and killed.
Emergency medical personnel who responded to the location could do nothing for the pair, and both were pronounced dead at the scene. The bodies of Izlar and Hinton were later taken to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner to determine the official cause of death. The Metropolitan Police Department's Homicide Branch launched an investigation into the double homicide.
In the years that have passed since the deaths of Larkia Izlar and Timothy Hinton, their case remains unsolved. No arrests have been made, and police have not publicly identified any suspects in connection with the shooting. The Metropolitan Police Department continues to offer a reward of up to $25,000 for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the individual or individuals responsible for this homicide. The investigation remains open as authorities continue to seek assistance from the public for any information regarding the case.
