Editors Note: We have changed the title of the post to reflect the fact that the witness did not see the killing itself happen.

The Post reported as early as Wednesday that the Metropolitan Police Department is still looking for any information that could lead to an arrest in the slaying of Damon Ward, who was shot early Sunday morning, February 26. Ward, an architect from Arlington, Virginia, was apparently an innocent bystander struck by gunfire that erupted over a dispute over a parking space. According to the Post, the police have said that they have no leads at this point.

Puzzlingly, this may not be the truth.

D.C. resident Mark Jude Sullivan was sitting on the front porch of a house near the corner of 13th and U Streets, NW, speaking with a friend when he heard gunshots from around the corner. Seconds after he heard the shots fired, he witnessed “a small, brown/tan, late 70s/early 80s-model, boxy, four-door car wheeling around the corner from U Street onto 13th Street.” According to Sullivan, “The car was full of people, very low on the road, and driving at breakneck speed on the wrong side of the road. It flew through the red light at 13th and V, at continued north on 13th. I thought it was strange that a shitty old car full of people could drive that fast. I figured it was a drunk driver until cops shut down U Street ten minutes later.”
