This Comment of the Day comes from “Johndoe” who wrote about Chavez Myers, suspected of stabbing and killing Olijawon Griffin inside the Woodley Park metro station Nov. 17.
Chavez was NEVER involved w the robbing.. Never was at a McDonald’s.. Don’t believe everything you hear in the media..this is no different from a celebrity story as far as believing the media.. A life was lost.. There’s no question on weather mr.griffin is a victim, however Chavez wasn’t aware of why the two groups were fighting.. He was at the metro station waiting for his train.. While communicating w others who were involved w the rubbing.. He was approached by the group.. As far as he Knew The robbery suspects were victims at the time.. Allow god to make any ultimate judgements.. Chavez is a a+ student and a very smart young man..and A very strong protector.. I hope justice is served in the most godly way.. Rip Mr.griffin

Evance Ivwurie left this comment about Solomon James Okoroh, the cab driver shot to death around 3 a.m. Tuesday in Adams Morgan:
This is extremely sad and unbelievable. i am terrified and devastated.
Mr. Okoroh is a wonderful gentleman and one of the kindest and simplest human being I have ever encountered.
He suffered and toiled for his family, and just when the kids are performing excellently in school, then the devil came to snuff life at of this wonderful angel.
My prayer, love and deep affection goes to the family whom only the Holy Spirit can comfort.
May his gentle and honest soul rest in the bosom of the Lord.
Ercell Overton, of Northwest D.C., was arrested on suspicion of first-degree murder in connection with Okoroh’s death and was ordered held last week.
