Fatal Hit and Run 1800 block of 6th Street, NW

There was a little confusion yesterday as to what happened in the alley next to Shaw’s Tavern. MPD shares more info today:

“Detectives from the Metropolitan Police Department’s Major Crash Unit are investigating a hit and run, resulting in a fatality, which occurred in the 1800 block of 6th Street, NW.

On Sunday, October 23, 2011, at approximately 8:00 am officers from the Third District responded to the 1800 block of 6th Street, NW to investigate the report of a man down. Upon arrival on the scene, they discovered an unidentified adult male lying on the ground unconscious. DC Fire and Emergency Medical Services personnel responded to the scene and determined that the victim showed no signs consistent with life.

Preliminary investigation revealed that the apparent nature of the injuries sustained indicate that the unidentified man was stuck and dragged by a vehicle, which fled the scene.

The decedent has been identified as 32-year-old John Young Kim of Berkeley, CA

Anyone with information about this case is asked to call the police at (202) 727-9099 or 1-888-919-CRIME (1-888-919-2746).”

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.

You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.

It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
