Ronih Murat Pacal via GoFundMe
Meagan writes: “another local restaurateur in Petworth and immigrant was murdered [in Takoma Park] this past week. He was one of the owners of La Villa Pizzeria in Petworth.”
The GoFundMe says:
“It is with heavy hearts that we reach out to you today to share the tragic news of the untimely passing of our dear friend, Ronih Murat Pacal. On December 5th, Ronih’s life was cut short by senseless violence when he fell victim to a robbery.
Ronih leaves behind a devastated family—his loving wife and two young children, aged 4 and 6. At 40 years old, he had so much more life to live, and his sudden departure has left a void that can never be filled.
We are coming together to support Ronih’s family during this incredibly challenging time. Our goal is to raise $30,000 to cover the expenses of his funeral and the necessary arrangements to transfer his body to Igdir (îdir) where his family wishes to lay him to rest.
Ronih was not just a victim; he was a devoted husband and father, a friend who brightened our lives with his kindness and warmth. Now, we have the opportunity to give back to him and his grieving family. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a significant impact.
Let us come together as a community to ease the burden on Ronih’s family during this difficult period. Your support will not only help cover the financial strain but also provide comfort to a family grappling with the sudden loss of their beloved husband, father and brother
Please consider making a donation and share this campaign with your network. Let’s surround the Pacal family with compassion, and the financial support they need to navigate this challenging time.
Thank you for your generosity and kindness.
With heartfelt condolences,
Ronih’s Friends”

We’re about a month out from summer. That means you’ve still got time for spring cleaning!
Lexi Grant, an operations manager at Well-Paid Maids, shared her go-to spring cleaning tips with WTOP News. Step one? Declutter. Get rid of items you don’t use, find space for items that need a home and organize those areas.
Then, it’s time to dust. Lexi starts with high-touch surface areas (think: refrigerator, dishwasher, counters, microwave). One area she sees often neglected is the bedroom — and it makes sense. Heavy furniture is difficult to move around, but it’s important to really get in there so dust doesn’t affect your sleep.
