“Detectives from the Metropolitan Police Department responded to a police-involved shooting that occurred in the 3800 block of Georgia Avenue, Northwest on Wednesday, September 7, 2016.
At approximately 1:44 pm, a uniformed MPD officer was flagged down in reference to an unknown individual walking northbound in the 3800 block of Georgia Avenue, Northwest, firing a handgun. The officer went to investigate and observed the suspect walking on the east side of the street where it was highly crowded with pedestrian and vehicular traffic. The officer approached the suspect and issued several verbal commands directing the suspect to drop the weapon. The subject ignored the officer’s commands and continued walking and shooting. The officer then discharged his service weapon striking the suspect. The suspect was subsequently arrested and transported to the hospital for further medical assistance.
The suspect’s handgun was recovered on the scene. 22-year-old Marc Jeffers of Northwest, DC was arrested and charged with Assault with a Dangerous Weapon (Gun), Carrying a Pistol Without a License, Unlawful Possession of a Firearm, Discharging a Firearm, Possession of an Unregistered Weapon and Ammunition, and Possession of a Prohibited Weapon.

2 weeks ago my friend and coworker was hit by a car as he was crossing the street in DC. The car took off, leaving David in the middle of the road. He was taken to a hospital where he passed away. Police have released some pictures and minimal information about the car/the events of that evening.
David was 29 years old (would have turned 30 this month). He worked with me at Lucky Bar in Washington DC. He was well-liked by both staff and customers. He didn’t deserve this; no one does.
We are also doing a fundraiser/memorial at Lucky Bar. This is from Lucky Bar’s Facebook page:
“The three soccer supporters’ clubs that call Lucky Bar home will host a joint fundraiser on 9/10. A percentage of bar sales and your generous donations throughout the day will be donated to his hometown chapter of Habitat for Humanity in David’s honor. Come out to join us raise funds for a worthy cause, and to celebrate the life and grieve our loss of a funny, kind, smart, and beloved dude. Doors will open at 7:15.”

“There were some shots fired, followed by a fairly sizeable police presence, around 4 am last night on Monroe NW between 11th and 13th. Anyone know what happened? The cops were looking in trash cans in the alley behind my house. Not quite sure where it happened.”
Another reader reports:
“Around 3:30 am I woke up to someone banging on a door near our place (close enough that it work me up on the 3rd floor of our row house). A minute later I heard two shots — I was wide awake at this point and was hoping that I was hearing things. Then three shots followed, extremely and terrifyingly close. I immediately called the police and reported it. By 3:45 we had a patrol car come by and stick around for about two hours.
My other roommate left the house for work at 5am and reported police tape and a patrol car blocking off our alleyway. Any insight from our neighbors would be appreciated. Stay safe!”
