Tarpinian-Jachym ‘s murder was a crime that President Donald Trump cited in announcing a law-enforcement surge in Washington, D.C.

What they're saying:

In an exclusive interview with FOX 5's Sydney Persing, Eric's mom, Tamara Tarpinian-Jachym, said "It's getting worse, not better. I think really reality is starting to hit in now that he's not coming home." 

"Every time I see it on TV, of another person violently murdered or slashed… I know what they're going through, Tamara said. "And it needs to stop."

While Tamara said she has faith that police will be able to find the last suspect in her son's killing, she said that "if [Lucas] was a real man, he would just turn himself in. But he's not a man. He's a wimp. He's hiding."

What you can do:

Anyone with information about Lucas’s whereabouts is urged not to approach but to contact police at (202) 727-9099 or text tips to 50411. 

A reward of up to $50,000 is available for information leading to an arrest and conviction in the case.
