Special police officer, captain Angela Washington died on September 21 after being shot while guarding the Oak Hill apartment complex on the 3300 block of 10th Place Southeast in Washington, D.C.
According to WUSA9, Angela’s husband, Reginald, said he and his wife had four children and four grandchildren.
“She was the best mother,” he said. “The best wife on Earth to me.”
Reginald told the outlet that his wife had a passion for serving her community and mentioned that she organized an after-school program named “The Difference,” which worked to keep underprivileged children out of trouble and off the streets.
“This was her passion,” Reginald said. “She just wanted to help make a change.”

Angela’s husband said he is tired of the constant gun violence that takes place in the District. According to the department, there had already been another reported shooting that same morning.
“Let’s do something about this,” he said. “Not because of my wife. I’m talking about the kids that are dying. Everybody is dying, man.”
“It’s unacceptable in the District of Columbia for somebody to brazenly shoot into a crowd of people, and five people to be struck at 8:38 a.m. in the morning,” Contee told Fox 5 D.C. “That unacceptable. And I’m asking for the community’s help to bring this person to justice.”
The department reported that there is still yet to be an arrest made in Angela’s case. They are offering a reward of up to $25,000 for anyone who can provide information leading to the arrest and conviction of anyone responsible for her death.
