Helluva Way to Wake Up at 16th and Upshur St NW, in 16th Street Heights – Victim’s Son Looking for Info – “car is my father’s main mode of transportation to and from work”

Published December 29, 2025 at 2:05PM

“Dear PoPville,

I was wondering if anyone in the area, either on Upshur St NW or in the alley between Upshur and Varnum Streets were able to catch anyone or any noise overnight. This car is my father’s main mode of transportation to and from work, since he works in construction. My father is an immigrant from El Salvador, and he worked very hard to be able to purchase this car. Understandably, this is frustrating for him and for us. It’s our first time having to deal with this.

I would respectfully ask anyone who has any video or audio recording to please send it to Officer Keton Valcin at [email protected], referencing CCN# 25-149-549. (more…)
