The Victim sustained several wounds that do not appear to be life-threatening. We are still actively working this scene and will release additional information as it becomes available.

The First District’s detectives office is investigating the above matter. Anyone with any pertinent information is asked to call the Tip-Line at 202-727-9099.”

From a press release:

“THE GRILL from KNEAD Hospitality + Design, in partnership with Chef Roberto Santibañez, is a contemporary, upscale American bar and grill opening tonight for dinner in D.C.’s District Wharf. The menu focuses on American cuisine with an emphasis on wood-fired steaks, seafood and lighter vegetarian fare. The modern, 5,400 square foot eatery was inspired by the years that KNEAD’s founders, Jason Berry and Michael Reginbogin, lived in Miami. The space features a sophisticated South Beach-inspired décor in an intimate setting. The Grill is the second concept at The Wharf from KNEAD and Santibañez – the team also opened Mi Vida, a contemporary Mexican restaurant, in 2018. (more…)
