Thats why they tell you to call 911. Whats sad is that armed gunmen/criminals walk right past it with no fear. I guess they know that they have your full support petworth community. 801 Shepherd st. is not a police station. Thats why they tell you to call 911.

There has been shootings in the area and when I've walked over to the station on SHepherd St, they told me to call 911, so sad I love Pethworth, but I have to agree with those who say that something fishy is going on.

The deceased ran past the segway officer, who jumped off and chased him. when he grabbed him they both started struggling.

Im pretty sure if he was shot in the head he would not have made it far. He did not have a known address but he grew up on Sheaperd street his whole life. My aunt his mother died in the early 90's from cancer my uncle his father just recently died and my other cousins (his brother and sisters) decided not to keep the house so it went into foreclosure. (cost was too much to repair vs value) So thats the reason he has no fixed address and other then my other cusins in bladensburg who he use to hang out with he didnt have many other places to go, so I assume he stayed with friends.

Did he point it at the officer as the police say? I see the Post states he had no known address. Is this so? If so, why was he in Petworth? I have seen some terribly aggressive police behavior in this city. So I do not put it past them. But I wonder why did the officer jump out and put him in a chokehold? What did the rest of the people there say or do? I am not disputing you. I am just curious to know why? Heartbroken friend–,
