This isn't that far from where I live. Crime in DC has always been a problem, we've always been one of the top 3 cities for violent crime in the US, and the police chief and the mayor always make excuses. Very sad. This guy who was killed was the friend of a friend.
A man who was fatally shot while walking his dog in Northwest Washington was killed in a "face-to-face" encounter with his assailant, police said yesterday.
Investigators said they had no motive or suspect in the slaying of Gregory C. Shipe, 34, a financial analyst for a large public relations firm downtown. He was shot in the face about 10:40 p.m. Saturday in a crime that one top D.C. police official yesterday called "bizarre."
"There was no rhyme or reason for this," said Capt. C.V. Morris, supervisor of the department's violent crimes division.
