More on this in the morning, but Metro Police Spokeswoman Gwendolyn Crump e-mailed over a list of D.C.’s homicide victims and information on the remaining nine cases Homicide Watch was still having trouble finding information about.
First the names Homicide Watch was not able to track down. According to Crump, those victims are: Ja-Kai Wilson, Herbert Johnson, Kourtnie Mitchell, Patricia Ann Martin, Bernard Lewis, Gregory Daniels, Vladimir Djordjevic and Dominic Simmons.
Crump also responded that a homicide listed in the homicide database did not exist.
2/12 no homicide reported in the 1400 block of L Street SE. At this location on this date there was an assault with a dangerous weapon (knife) CCN 017-814
A quick count of names of 2010 D.C. homicide victims on the list Crump provided though, backed up Metro PD’s assertion that 131 people were killed.
Homicide Watch will be reviewing the names and crime locations tomorrow, making adjustments to our database and bringing you what we find. For now, here’s Metro PD’s list of homicide victims. Names highlighted on this list indicate cases whose press releases were added to the Department’s website last week.
