Reported by @DCPoliceDept around 1am Friday night:
“Robbery F&V // 1300 Block of Shepherd Street, NW (5) U/K Males”
A reader adds:
“Had a middle aged guy get beaten up in the street by 5 young guys around 10:30 tonight on Shepherd between 13th and 14th. MPD was on the scene in minutes after neighbors called 911. I only saw the end of it, but it was pretty coordinated. All dressed in black, two or three guys attacking the victim while the rest kept watch.”
@DCPoliceDept tweets around 1:20am Friday night:
“2D ROBBERY/2300 CALVERT ST NW/LOF 10-12 B/M’S WHITE SHIRTS AND BLACK HOODIES/”
A witness reports on the Cleveland Park listserv:
Last night coming back from U Street my cab passed a robbery on Calvert St on the bridge. My cab stopped as did the one behind us. The perpetrators, a group of dark-skinned, black-dressed young males, ran off and dispersed when two guys ran after them calling 911.
I stayed with the victim who suffered blows to the head and body and was bleeding from his eyebrow.
They took nothing but a dated smartphone. That’s what our lives have become worth I fear…
Police says such robberies are frequent on the bridge, particularly on the weekend.

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.
