[Lincolnparkdc] Police crime briefing Nov. 8 at Miner school

Sat Oct 27 10:20:58 EDT 2018

Capitol Hill Corner published the following summary last Sunday. The Arthur Capper address is wrong. S/b 900 block 5th Southeast. Holdup at CVS was pharmacy to get drugs 

Crime  – Significant crime events on or near Capitol Hill last week included two homicides, a carjacking with a five year old child aboard, and robbery of a drug store.  On Tuesday, a man was killed by gunfire in the 1300 block of D Street, NE.  Last night (Saturday), a man was killed by gunfire across the street from the Arthur Capper Senior Public Housing at 9th and D, Southwest.  The widely-reported carjacking with a child aboard occurred Friday as a mother was dropping off her child at Watkins School.  (See  here: https://wapo.st/2S80p3N)   The CVS at 12th and Pennsylvania was held up on Friday the 12th. What wasn’t widely reported was the unprovoked random assault about 5:00pm Saturday, October 13, in the crosswalk at the 8th and Pennsylvania Starbucks crosswalk, when a man cold-cocked a pedestrian, knocking him down and breaking his glasses as he passed by – after which the assailant sauntered off to the Barracks Row 7-11 where he was later arrested by police.  PCP may have been a factor in the crime.  The 7-11, by the way, was the also under-reported scene of a 7:30am stabbing on October 9.

(According to MPD crime stats, as of October 19, 2018, there have been 131 homicides in the District, compared with 92 on the same date last year – a 44% increase.  https://mpdc.dc.gov/page/district-crime-data-glance   These figures are changing as this is being written.  Tonight (SundayO) at 7:15pm, a man was killed by gunfire at New York Avenue, NW and North Capitol Street, NW.)

With the exception of the last incident, the kids were all said to be wearing red polo shirts and beige pants, apparently a school uniform from around here.

That meeting is Thursday, November 8, 7 pm at Miner Elementary and all neighbors are welcome to join us.  I expect we will have the Commanders for the First District and the Fifth District both present that evening.

Thanks to Councilmember Charles Allen, DC has a program that essentially reimburses you for the expense and private home security footage is often the key evidence that determines whether the police are able to solve crimes like these.  More info on the program is available here.  https://ovsjg.dc.gov/service/private-security-camera-system-incentive-program
