A final amount of $15 million was revealed Friday when the family of Ali Ahmed Mohammed, who was killed outside DC9 a year ago yesterday, filed their lawsuit in D.C. Superior Court. An original report suggested that the civil suit would ask for $10 million in damages for the “vigilante-style death” of Mohammed on October 15, 2010. Despite the DC medical examiner’s finding that the death was a homicide, the actions of the DC9 employees were not deemed criminal and prosecutable.

During the past year, DC9 has reopened and mostly returned to business and usual. What remains to be seen, as the lawsuit progresses, is whether old resentments will return to the corner of U and 9th Streets.
