Daily Mail Online can exclusively report that three prior felons have been arrested for robbing people at gunpoint just blocks from the scene of Rich's shooting
They had handguns - Seth was shot in the back with a handgun
This seems to be key into making me think this was not some hit on Seth Rich because he was involved in leaking information. Maybe it was a random hit, apparently he was missing for about 2 hours or so after leaving "Lou's City Bar" where he went all the time, the article says, 5 or 6 nights a week.
Aside from the great tragedy here, my thoughts that this guy was a big beer drinking type is confirmed. But if the neighborhood was known for some crime, he should have been more cautious. Could have been more than a beer drinker, DNC young staffers could be big partyers for all we know. And all the same, I'm sure he was a nice guy that didn't deserve this.

Daily Mail Online has investigated the final hours of Wikileaks-linked DNC analyst Seth Rich
Staff at Lou's City Bar told Daily Mail Online he was so drunk one of them offered him a ride home - he refused saying he was headed to another bar
His drunken state could have made him a prime target for violence in the high-crime northwest Washington, D.C. neighborhood
Crucial hours leading up to his death are still unaccounted for
Police investigating if murder was tied to a string of armed robberies in the neighborhood

Although the Metropolitan Police Department said it does not have any updates on Rich's case, Daily Mail Online can report that three men were arrested after an armed robbery nine blocks from where Rich was shot, on July 28. It is unclear whether the MPD has looked into them in relation to the case.
Paul Tyrone Dorn, 19, Demetrius Brandon, 20 and 22-year-old Stanley Marquis Williams were arrested after allegedly robbing a group of three men at gunpoint at around 8 p.m. on July 28, according to the police report.
Police said they found three handguns – a Hi-Point, a Ruger and a Taurus – in their possession, as well as wallets and iPhones from the victims.
According to Seth father Joel Rich, his killer used a handgun.
The men are currently awaiting a grand jury. All three have prior criminal records for robbery.

DC has had some atrocious crimes, unfortunately we could be looking at that.
That's also a lot of walking to be doing at 3 or 4 in the morning, granted, young males get upset, depressed about some love affair and that sounds like something one might do.
But as some of the commentators state, still, he wasn't robbed.
