This is the unfortunate story of the killing of a young man named Seth Conrad Rich, a Nebraska-born and -reared young man whose death by two gunshots has resulted in conspiracy theories of the worst kind.
Like a Hollywood political thriller with a really bad ending, the Seth Rich case is no typical urban whodunnit.
Rich reportedly was killed about 4:20 a.m. on Sunday, July 10, 2016, after leaving Lou’s City Bar in the popular Columbia Heights neighborhood. Found nearly a 30-minute walk away in the Bloomingdale neighborhood where he lived, Rich was pronounced dead at a local hospital.
