“Dear PoPville,

I had a missed connection at Trader Joes on Sunday night (1/3) and I’m hoping to find him. I’d lost my wallet and was trying to figure out what to do at the register.

“Dear PoPville,

Know anything about this? One of my neighbors sent a photo of this sign going up at Florida and North Cap (old NY Pizza place that’s had chainlink fencing around the lot got a while). Looks like Aunteaboba’s Instagram talks about a “DC location coming soon,” but wondering if there’s any other scuttlebutt?” (more…)

From MPD:

“This afternoon at about 2:50 PM, 1D patrol officers heard gunshots near North Capitol St and L St NW. A 911 caller reported seeing a silver car shooting at someone on L St. A passing motorist’s vehicle was also struck by gunfire on North Capitol St. Fortunately, no one was injured.

Our quickly responding officers located the suspect vehicle and attempted to conduct a traffic stop. One occupant fled the vehicle on foot and was stopped by officers; the vehicle fled the area. Upon stopping the suspect, the officers found a gun on him. Based on our detectives investigation, the suspect was arrested for ADW-Gun.

While an arrest has been made in this case, our detectives will continue to investigate to identify any other suspects and ensure a good case is presented to the US Attorney’s Office for prosecution. If anyone has relevant information, please call 202-727-9099 or anonymously text 50-411.”

Also reported by MPD:

“Approximately 11:40 am, an officer heard a Sound of a Gunshot in the 5400 block of 5th Street, NW. A canvass in the block produced one shell casing and damage to the windshield of a vehicle parked in the block.

Anyone with additional information please call 202 727-9099.”
