Few details have emerged since initial reports from the Washington Post and TBD almost nine hours ago that Metro Police were investigating a possible homicide in Southwest D.C.
D.C. Police told TBD that the man was found hanging in a tree near South Capitol and I streets SW. Twitter user @DCseth tweeted this morning that the body was found in an area park.
Omg I think a body may have been found in the park I walk thru on my way to/from work! SW DC
Yeah, so a body WAS found in the park I walk through to and from work every day. No details yet.
Metro Police have not issued a press release and a spokesperson told TBD this evening that they had “no information” about the case.
We’ll monitor through the night. If you have a tip or lead, leave a comment on this post, email homicidewatchdc [at] gmail.com, or tweet us @homicidewatch.
