Nwogu finished from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University also known as Virginia Tech five months ago.

According to Bruce Lesha, an American reporter who made the news known on Twitter, the Nigerian just got a job at Ernst and Young.

The man was murdered around 1:30 am at a Shell gas station of Connecticut Avenue. Will Ventura, his friend, said that that the late Nigerian was a very “hardworking and caring” person, WUSA9 reports.

The DC Police have, however, said though full details of this death are at the moment sketchy, Nwogu was transacting at the station when he was gunned down

His friend has set up a GoFundMe account for his funeral expenses with a $15,000 (N5,745,000) mark. As at the time of writing this report, the sum of $10,246 (N3,924,218) has been donated.
