“Last Sunday afternoon, July 11, around 5:25 p.m., I was carjacked at gunpoint on the SW corner of Crittenden and 9th Streets NW. I was ordered to drive down what I believe was Buchannan, and ended up in an alley behind 513 Crittenden St, where I was sexually assaulted. The assailant pushed me out of the car and fled the scene.
Here is the police report of the incident.
I’m asking for your help–if you have a security camera (front or rear) or doorbell camera, please check between the hours of 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. that day for any footage that may help the investigation (either footage of the suspect walking around before the crime or driving away afterwards). The suspect was wearing black plastic framed eyeglasses, a white t-shirt, green basketball shorts, and white sneakers. He was a slim build, black male between the ages of 19-22. The car is a white 2012 Chevy Volt with a black roof, license plate MD 9AY5678. (more…)

Thanks to K for sending: “I know Satellite Room has been closed for a while but was sad to see the great patio coming down. Just the patio so far. Looks like they are making efforts to protect the bar/restaurant portion so assume that is staying.”
Anyone hear what the current plans are?
