A top staffer at the Democratic National Committee (DNC) was fatally shot in Washington, D.C. on Sunday. Seth Conrad Rich was shot several times a block from his home in D.C.s neighborhood of Bloomingdale.
It happened at 4:20 a.m. on a residential street near a convenience store. He died a few hours later at the local hospital. He was 27 years old:
He wanted to make a difference, said the victims father, Joel I. Rich, 68, in a phone interview from his home in Omaha, Neb. Politics was in his blood. The younger Rich had worked on computer database to help voters identify and map their individual polling locations. In his spare time, he volunteered at the humane society taking care of dogs. Acting D.C. Police Capt. Anthony Haythe, head of the homicide unit, said detectives have no suspects and are looking into all possible motives. He said there were no witnesses and police are trying to determine if any part of the crime was caught on surveillance video. Haythe pleaded for anyone with information to come forward. Rich was the voter expansion data director, and DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz issued this statement:

What was he doing out at 4:20 in the morning in perhaps the most dangerous city in this country?
Playing Pokemon Go?
heh good one
Be careful....I think Picachu is carrying a .45
Scores are being settled inside the Dem Party. The Obama/Hillary hit teams from Chicago are at work.
Dem apparatchiks should never, ever threaten to leak or talk to the press. That gets you dead as a ‘rat.
Reminds me of the young naive girl who went to New Orleans to “make a difference” and the first night ended up raped and murdered.
Not breaking and not a “top” official. Other than that your title is accurate.
I am not sure he was a “top democrat official”, but that does make it sound more scandalous, so okay.
Sigh, a haiku:
I love you! :)
I agree with you; I used the title and format of their article. Perhaps the database guys at these offices are the most important employees.
Rachel Corrie wanted to make a difference, too!
When I got a new phone number the previous owner the turned out to be a drug dealer. Most of his calls came between 1-5 am on weekends. My guess is drugs.
“...detectives have no suspects...”
Arkancide.
He was shot in the back, yet nothing was stolen.
Worked on dim voter registration. Did he discover their dead voter list? Illegal alien list? Dual residency list? Felon voter list?
Yup,....Arkancide
But not to worry. His absentee ballots have all been filled out. All 25 of them.
According to this link, he was talking to his girlfriend on his phone at the time of the attack. That, however, if accurate, still doesn’t explain what led him to be out on the street then. If it’s true, the girlfriend likely knows why he was out there then.
