Tech executive dies one week after vicious Washington, DC beating, suspect remains at large

A Virginia tech executive has died nearly one week after he got into a fight on a Washington, D.C. street — and the suspect remains at large.

Dr. Vivek “Vick” Taneja, 41, died Wednesday, WUSA9 reported.

Taneja was found on the pavement outside Shoto Restaurant, at around 2 a.m. on Feb. 2 by authorities responding to a report of an assault, according to the outlet.

He was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries.

Taneja got into an argument with a man before the dispute turned physical — and he was knocked to the ground, smacking his head on the pavement, WUSA9 reported, citing the preliminary investigation.

Police are now investigating the incident as a homicide.

The person of interest was captured on surveillance footage, WUSA9 said.
