Tarpinian-Jachym, a rising senior at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, had been working as a congressional intern for Rep. Ron Estes (R-KS) since June. He was shot on June 30 near the Mount Vernon Square Metro station in Northwest D.C. around 10:30 p.m. He died in the hospital on July 1.
A woman and a 16-year-old boy were also injured in the shooting. D.C. Police Chief Pamela Smith called it a “tragic loss” and “unacceptable.”
“I will remember his kind heart and how he always greeted anyone who entered our office with a cheerful smile,” Estes said in a statement last week. “We are grateful to Eric for his service to Kansas’ 4th District and the country.”
