The story of Hamza Mccrae

Hamza McCrae lived in Southeast Washington, D.C., and is recorded in public records as having died on October 23, 2016. Public safety bulletins and memorial listings from the Metropolitan Police Department and related unsolved-homicide compilations identify him by name and place his death at 1900 block of 19th Place SE on that date.

Contemporary reporting from earlier years shows a man named Hamza McCrae living in Southeast who, in 2008, was pursuing vocational training and seeking employment as a mechanic. Those accounts describe him attending classes and working toward certifications, a detail that suggests a person focused on practical skills and on rebuilding opportunities for himself. While available public sources about his life are limited, these references together point to someone engaged with local training programs and community life in Southeast D.C.

Public records do not provide a fuller published obituary or family-authorized memorial that can be confirmed to match the exact death date. Out of respect for Hamza McCrae and his family, this remembrance emphasizes the human facts that can be verified: a neighbor who pursued new skills and work later in life and whose life mattered to the community around him. His death on October 23, 2016, remains part of the public record; those who knew him or have memories to share are an important source of his fuller story and legacy.
