https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/father-charged-first-degree-murder-alleged-fatal-beating-his-5-year-old-son I saw in another article that he is still FREE pending trial. RIP Deandre. I hope his sisters are kept safer than he was. Man has DV priors, he’s violent and dangerous. |
This poor child suffered and must have been terrified. This happened at The Connecticut House apartments.

The Pettit incident was the second time in eight days that a child was violently killed by an adult in a Connecticut Avenue apartment building that has taken on a massive number of voucher recipients (the first was at the now-infamous Sedgwick Gardens). The buildings are 0.7 of a mile apart.
DC leaders, including and especially the Ward 3 council member, have done nothing. https://www.foresthillsconnection.com/news/after-two-child-deaths-in-a-week-dc-agencies-with-apartment-safety-oversight-will-appear-at-anc-3fs-oct-15-meeting/ |
We need to do back to how this was when it happened in an area that we didn't have to pay attention to!
