On September 23, 2011, our son Patrick Casey was attacked from behind while attempting to break up a fight between his friend and a group of three men from Virginia. The men had a history of drunken behavior and several brawls in the same area of Washington DC. The injuries he sustained resulted in his death four days later. No one was ever charged. Throughout the criminal investigation in 2011 and ever since, the federal prosecutors dismissed us, deceived us and outright lied to us and the public. The DC Police remained silent in the fact of this misconduct. Over a decade later, we are still seeking justice for Patrick, a man who was falsely held culpable in the tragic events of his own death while the perpetrators and the corrupt prosecutors have not been held accountable.

*Update: View the OIG Complaint we filed in September 2019 and the June 2024 response.*

We present the truth about who Patrick was, what happened the night he was attacked, and the willful misconduct by federal prosecutors. We continue to fight for Patrick’s legacy so that who he really was — a dedicated son, a brother and combat soldier with his whole future before him — is remembered and he receives the justice and respect he earned.
