On November 22, 1994, Bennie Lee Lawson would enter the Cold Case room in the Henry Daly Building and open fire. Killing three; two FBI agents, Martha Dixon Martinez, Michael John Miller. And police detective Henry Daly.[1]
Henry Daly was the supervisor of the D.C. Police’s “Cold Case Squad” task force. Of which both victims Martha Martinez and Michael Miller were assigned to.[2]
Additionally, two were injured in the shooting. John David Kuchta, another FBI agent present in the room, and a 15-year-old boy who was shot in the leg.[1] Washington Police Chief Fred Thomas would announce some days later that two people were in custody being interviewed as possible witness or suspect.[3]
Initially, no motive or cause of death of the perpetrator was designated for the attack.[3] It would later be revealed that Lawson was bitter for being implicated by detectives whom he believed worked at the building. After the massacre, Lawson would die by a self inflicted gunshot wound.[4]
