Multiple news outlets reported that he was working in the city, installing solar panels, when he was shot in the back.

The assailant “walked up, produced a handgun and shot multiple times,” Capt. Kevin Kentish, a supervisor in the homicide unit, told The Washington Post. “It does not appear that anything was taken from the decedent.”

According to The Post, “the shooting comes amid a spike in homicides across the District, which police statistics show has recorded 132 killing this year, a 12 percent increase from this time last year.”

Wolf leaves behind a wife and six-month-old child, according to a report. His mother, Elise, is a principal at Bais Yaakov of Baltimore. A funeral was held on Aug. 11.

The Metropolitan Police Department currently offers a reward of up to $25,000 to anyone that provides information which leads to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for each homicide committed in the District of Columbia. Anyone with information about this case is asked to call the police at 202-727-9099.
