From the brother of the guy who was killed near my apartment:

My name is William Zeller, I am one of the brothers of Paul M. Zeller that was killed June 30th at the Pentagon Row shopping center. I have just read the new article in the washington post, I know someone out there knows something. Our family needs closure, if anyone knows anything about this and is following the case you can e-mail me any time. Also anyone that has any idea how to go about setting up an reward through a tip line company or something like that that would be great.

I am currently serving a second term in the Air Force, have already been to Iraq once and am going to go again. My brother served his country proudly and then is killed on his own soil by some coward. This individual couldnt even face him when he did it. I want to see justice served on this, any help would be great.

Thanks,

William Zeller

Seriously, if someone knows anything, they need to call the police department's tip line: 703-228-4242 . If you'd rather contact William, his email is wkzeller@adelphia.net .

"I am currently serving a second term in the Air Force..."

I think that is an unusual way to phrase that. Kinda like "I am currently serving a second sentence at Rikers..."

I know that isn't the point of his letter, but I couldn't help noticing that. I hope someone has some info so they can find the killer.

Maybe it was a Freudian slip (instead of "tour") because he was talking about crime.

Again William Zeller,

I have received a couple emails so far. One was from someone that was not far ahead of my brother when the incident occured, she stated she even felt the blasts. Dont get me wrong here I am very anxious to get more info on the case and anyone that was there.

I have started a non-profit organization called the Paul Zeller Memorial Fund. I am hoping to raise enough money to put towards a reward that even this persons best friend turns him in. Anyone wishing to contibute can do so by going to any US Bank location and donating to that fund. If you are in the DC area there are no US Banks, so you can mail them to myself.

Make checks payable to Paul Zeller Memorial Fund.

One last note, The little coward I will even go as far as to say Punk that did this, needs to own up to this if not there is going to be enough money out on you that even your Mother will turn you in.

Paul Zeller served with me in IRAQ. I was his section sergeant, he was an very unique person but you right he did served his country well and he did served proudly and without any complains, Zeller is a brother to me and I feel sorry that this happened in our own country, I will send you a check toward this funds and I can't believe this but if the criminal don't face justice on earth, he will faced it in front of God.

Yeah man, I'm really frustrated that it's been over a month, and it looks like the dude might get away with it. How the hell does this happen and no one gets arrested?

I havent been checking this often, but Joe I would like to see this as a continuous post on your home page if possible. You can always email me and let me know your thoughts on this. To tell the truth this website has been the best thing that I have seen so far. So I guess I am asking a favor of the webmaster right now help me and my family out?

On the other hand I would like to hear from Carlos Osorio that posted a comment. My email is there on the link email me personally with a number and I will call you direct.

To the Zeller family: I'm so sorry for your loss. The local 9 News just had a segment on Paul, and it makes me so mad that the police have no leads. Not that I have any evidence, but I'm hoping that the police are investigating the soccer fields nearby that are always full of hispanic gang members. This random killing sounds a lot like something MS-13 would do. And, unfortunately, thanks to our open border illegal immigration problem, Northern Virginia has become a stronghold for the violent gang. I'm so disgusted and pissed off! Innocent people are being killed!

Well, remember that there are sill thousands of people thinking about you.

No more comments! Either someone has violated Godwin's Law, I'm tired of the discussion or, most likely, the ten-week window has closed. You can, however, contact me through email.
