From MPD:
“This afternoon at approximately 3:50 pm an adult male was struck and severely injured by a vehicle on 14th Street at Webster Street. The striking vehicle fled the scene. The vehicle is a Jeep Liberty, maroon in color, and is believed to be a 2003 model year. The license plate number is unknown. The Jeep is missing most of its front grill.”
A subsequent MPD report says:
“The victim who was struck by the vehicle was pronounced. It has been determined the vehicle which struck the victim was done so deliberately therefore this case is being investigated by the Homicide Branch. The investigation into this matter continues and we ask that anyone with information call 1-888-919-CRIME.”
While some news reports state that an altercation took place between a couple of people a reader writes in and says that multiple people were involved including one using a dog as weapon. They also say it is possible the victim was hit twice with the same car. Horrifying situation for any time of day – particularly horrifying at 4pm on a weekday near a children’s park.
Update from MPD:
“Detectives from the Metropolitan Police Department’s Homicide Branch are investigating a homicide that occurred in the 4400 block of 14th Street, NW.
On Thursday, October 6, 2011, at approximately 3:47 p.m., units from the Fourth District were dispatched to the 4400 block of 14th Street, NW, to investigate the report of a pedestrian that was struck by a vehicle that left the scene. Upon their arrival, they located an adult male lying in the street that was unconscious and unresponsive. DC Fire and Emergency Medical Services responded to the scene and transported the victim to a local hospital where he succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead. His remains have been transported to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner pending an autopsy.
The decedent has been identified as 22-year-old Miguel Angel Drullard Jr., of Northwest, DC.
Preliminary investigation has revealed that the striking vehicle may have intentionally struck the pedestrian.The lookout for the involved vehicle in this case is a Jeep Liberty that is red or burgundy in color with extensive front end damage.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
