The dead man’s first name was: Lieutenant.
“...According to The Washington Post, the State Department was tipped off to the intrusion in March by police officers in Washington who discovered nearly two-dozen credit cards and printouts of eight passport applications during the search of a car that was stopped for having excessively tinted windows. Four of the names on the credit cards matched four of the names on the passport applications, leading police to conclude the passport information had been stolen for identity theft purposes.
The driver of the car, identified as Lt. Q. Harris Jr., told police that he was working with a co-conspirator at the State Department and someone who worked for the U.S. Postal Service, the Post reported. While awaiting trial, Harris was killed about a month later in a shooting that his mother believes was directly related to his involvement in the passport fraud case.
So far, the stolen data doesn’t appear to have been misused, the State Department spokeswoman said. However, she noted that the investigation into the incident is ongoing and did not rule out the possibility that more people could be affected.”
