Dear Friends, MPD tells me that—early this morning about 5 AM—a 42year old man with head trauma appears to have been dropped out of a car at 14th and Park. He later died from his injuries. It is not clear if the trauma had occurred before or after he was put out of the car. If you know anything about this strange and tragic occurrence, please contact MPD at 202-727-9099.
