D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty, MPD Chief Cathy Lanier and U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Taylor have scheduled a news conference for 1:15 p.m. to announce further developments in the Chandra Levy case. The Associated Press has just reported that an arrest warrant has been issued for Ingmar Guandique, the suspect named in news reports late last month. Guandique is currently in federal prison in Adelanto, Calif., for attacking two other women in Rock Creek Park. We’ll be sure to update after the press conference.

UPDATE 1:19 p.m. The press conference is being televised live on several cable news channels. U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Taylor is summarizing the affidavit that’s been released. An arrest warrant has been issued for Ingmar Guandique, who has been charged with first degree murder in the death of Chandra Levy.

“We believe Ms. Levy was a random victim of Mr. Guandique, as she walked her dog or jogged in Rock Creek Park,” Taylor said.

CLARIFICATION: There’s been some confusion about what Taylor said during the press conference. Watching on TV, I heard “as she walked her dog,” which, upon reflection, doesn’t make a lot of sense, since Chandra Levy was not known to have a dog. The Associated Press also seems to have heard that Taylor said “walked her dog.” However, ABC News has the quote as “walked or jogged,” which makes a lot more sense, and I’ve since conferred with a reporter buddy who was in the room, and he tells me that he also understood the quote to be “walked or jogged.” So, I’ve made the correction above because I now believe that’s what Taylor said, and I’d ask that the U.S. Attorney try not to mumble so much the next time he’s on TV.
