Um yes that is a long stretch. A car theft or jacking is a property crime of opportunity. Most murders in DC are between crews, not random residents.
There are random murders in DC frequently. Sorry if that does not tip the scale to "most" murders. It is certainly enough to want to look at car theft, car jackings and these weird gas station hold ups. But apparently the police agree with you and they are no big deal.

The car theft has nothing to do with the murder. They aren’t even investigated by the same type of detective. And if you leave your car unlocked and running with the keys obviously in the ignition while you go run an errand, I’m sorry, but maybe you deserve to lose it.
Very weird 'woke' take.
If I leave my front door to my house open do I deserve to have somebody move in and lock me out?
I understand that Mary should not have left the car running, but that does not make car theft acceptable.
You probably think those ladies wearing crop tops were asking for it as well. You can't possibly be educated with a hot take like that.

This week two in one night hours apart. One fatal at gas station near Chevy Chase Circle and the other (non-fatal) in Tenleytown.
No one seems concerned.
I've been concerned about shootings in DC for a long time. I'm not more concerned about shootings in Chevy Chase / Tenleytown. But if you'd like to get involved in advocating for violence interruption then it's better late than never. Starting writing to CM Cheh.

Wouldn't it make sense to have the MPD and City work with businesses before a crime in an effort to get cameras installed around businesses that may attract crime or simply need an additional layer of security.
Every time the MPD District Commanders are interviewed they sound shocked that a camera was not available to get video footage from. When was the last time a Policeman or City Employee knocked on a door and interacted with a person to pitch the idea of installing a camera at that location.
How is it that city buildings (the fire station) do not have cameras. Why is the city paying people to install cameras and then not insuring that its own properties are covered.
It is almost like the city snow shoveling law. We will fine you if you do not shovel your sidewalk, but we will not be bothered to shovel the sidewalks that are city responsibility.
