It's been one year since a grandmother riding her motorized wheelchair down a neighborhood street in Southeast Washington was gunned down by a man shooting at someone else.
Now police are renewing their call for help to find her killer.
Vivian Marrow, 68, was making her daily trip to a neighborhood market when she was shot on the 2400 block of Elvans Road SE on Jan. 17, 2017.
The mother of three and grandmother of 11 was rushed to a hospital, where she died.
"She raised some of y'all out here, you know. My mother gave love. I'm begging you! Somebody, please. Please, I dont have her no more," Marrow's daughter, Dionne Marrow, pleaded during a vigil last year.
After her death, police released video showing the suspected shooter, but they've been unable to identify and capture him.

The blurry, silent video appears to show one person chasing another person. They run toward Marrow from behind as her motorized wheelchair moves along a sidewalk.
The two people run past her, and then her wheelchair appears to stop.
The person who was pursuing someone appears to look back at Marrow. Then, each person runs in a separate direction.

Police initially believed Marrow was caught in crossfire during a gun battle, but then-interim Police Chief Peter Newsham later said investigators believe there was only one shooter.
Police described the suspect as a black male who has a slim build and appears to be left-handed.
Marrow often used an electric wheelchair to get around her longtime neighborhood after she was hit by a car in the 1980s.
She was a fixture in the neighborhood, especially among children.
"It could've been your mother. It could've been your grandmother. It could've been your sister. It could've been anybody. Just come foward and tell what you know, so we can solve this case," family friend Arthur Byrd said during last year's vigil.
