Reporter 18 years and 30 daze after her grandson was found shot to death inside ford mustang carol burke hard and sr. Stands on the corner, the family case family that contains the names of possible suspects and witnesses. Carls father, grandmother and other family grandmother collected p in the days after the death. What time, what else did she see. How do you know that . Who is this person . Because people were talking. Oh, okay. Neighborhood people talk. Carol burke head says she turned the information over to the police. Nobody was telling the Police Anything and i think mainly because they didnt trust the people down at 630. High stakes case caused the chief to remove the man who was in charge. They didnt care, carl was just another young black kid in northeast d. C. , didnt make any difference to them. He didnt matter. He wasnt worth much. Well, he was worth a the lot to us. Carl rogers jr. Split his youth between northeast d. C. And Prince Georges County where he grads waited from suitland high school. He was a typical teenager. He was interested in art. He would write poem and songs. He was the love of my life because he was my first grandson. And i was lost after he was imon. After High School Carol told his father he wanted to start his own business. He wanted to be a barber. Okay. Barbers make good money. The two decided they would invest in a sho the family name out front. But on march 27, 1999, those dreams came to an end when carl was found shot to death inside his car at 44th and eaves place northeast. The nine year old was sitting in the drivers seat and had gunshot wounds to the head and neck. Despite the fact that someone called nine to report the sound of gunshots his body was not discovered until after eight the next morning. I dont know whether he was alive part of that time crying for his mom, his dad, begging for his grandmom to get and come him. I think they botched that investigation from the start. They didnt give one good damn about my child. Not one. A few days of carl was killed his aunt who lives around the corner got a phone call from a person who said she knew who killed carl. She said shes was watching from t said her parents were concerned for her safety and didnt want her to come forward with the information. She said she also she couldnt trust the police down at the sixth district to protect her. Here it is 18 years later and the family still doesnt know who that caller was. But the family and the police did come up with a motive. They believe carl was likely killed in retaliation for a fight that took place on the porch of this home where carl stayed a at times with his aunt the 19 year old went after a kevin who was hurling insults. I heard he got knocked out. Two weeks later my grandson is dead all this information was turned over to the police. Do know that there are detectives in the major case, cold case unit that have half spoken with the family in the past. I have spoken with certain detectives that have. I encouraged them to keep the faith and lets encourage others in that area, i of eves or who may have that information to come forward. Lieutenant anthony haze says he has assigned a new detective to review the case. Fox5 made contact with the original detective in the case. Michael bay lord declined an on camera interview. Saying the snow snitching code of the streets hindered his work and he was never able to learn the name of or interview the person carl had a fight with. I am absolutely bitter because i think he missed an opportunity to solve this case. It was different to have Something Like this happen so close to home around so many people that knew not only carl, but knew my daughters, knew my son and knew me. That was devastating. There is 30,000 on the table for anyone who can help police solve this case, 25 from the cops and five from the family.
