Street Artist Removed From Workshop After Arrest
Yesterday, we reported on the arrest of Asad ULTRA Walker, a street artist that police allege goes by the moniker “MAR5” and one MPD Sergeant called “a leader and founding member of the ‘KGB’ graffiti crew that dates back to at least the early 90s.” Our report noted that Walker was scheduled to lead a lettering workshop as part of a series of summer workshops hosted by the D.C. Public Library today. That’s no longer the case.
This morning, news came that District police had arrested Asad ULTRA Walker, a street artist that police allege goes by the moniker “MAR5”, on Sunday morning.
