What to Know
- Seth Rich was shot to death in northwest D.C. July 10.
- Republican lobbyist Jack Burkman offered a $100,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction.
- Police said last month they have no evidence the slaying was connected to Rich's work at the DNC.
The parents of a Democratic National Committee staffer who was gunned down in Northwest Washington say they will never stop looking for their son's killer.
Seth Conrad Rich, 27, was shot multiple times in the 2100 block of Flagler Place July 10. No arrests have been made in the four months since his death.
On Monday, his parents pleaded for any clues that may help police.
"You have two people who shot my son twice in the back," said Rich's mother, Mary Rich. "We're not going to stop until we find my son's murderer. We will find his murderer, but we need all of you."
An $125,000 reward is being offered for information that leads to an arrest, including $100,000 offered by Republican lobbyist Jack Burkman.
Burkman, who is representing the Rich family, said he will stage a reenactment of the crime.

"As a lawyer, I believe in reenactments and I think they're a very strong way not just to engage the community but to really bring forth and attract new information," he said.
D.C. police did not participate in the news conference Monday and said there was no new information and that the investigation was ongoing.
Investigators have said they don't have any evidence suggesting the slaying is connected to the victim's work at the DNC. Attempted robbery has been cited as a possible motive.
On Monday, police say there were no additional updates in Rich's case.
WikiLeaks previously offered a $20,000 reward for information leading to a conviction in Rich's death.
Rich, a Nebraska native, was a rising star in the DNC, colleagues said.
Mary Rich said she misses her son's smile the most.
"That smile. That smile, because I know that smile comes the arms hugging me too," she said.
Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to call police at 202-727-9099 or send a text message to 50411.
