DNC employee shot and killed in Washington

http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/11/politics/seth-rich-killed-washington/index.html

Rich's resume is filled with various jobs in Democratic politics and political consulting.
DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz mourned Rich's death in a statement released Monday.
"Our hearts are broken with the loss of one of our DNC family members over the weekend," she said. "Seth Rich was a dedicated, selfless public servant who worked tirelessly to protect the most sacred right we share as Americans -- the right to vote. He saw the great potential of our nation and believed that, together, we can make the world a better place. He was a joy to have as a member of our team, and his talents, intelligence and enthusiasm will be deeply missed by the many friends, colleagues and coworkers who worked by his side in service to the highest ideals of our democracy."

This is so sad my prayers are with his family

The D.C. Metropolitan Police Department in Washington is offering a reward of up to $25,000 for any information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the individual or individuals behind the shooting.


Are they doing that routinely nowadays?

Horrible crime--I wonder if he was able to ID his killer before he died?
