(Washington, DC) Today, Mayor Bowser released the following statement in response to the fatal shooting of Vivian Marrow in the 2400 block of Elvans Road, Southeast, on Monday, January 16, 2017:
“Today, because of senseless gun violence, Washington, DC lost another resident, three children lost their mother, and eleven grandchildren lost their grandmother. There is no excuse for this type of violence. Because someone engaged in reckless gunfire in broad daylight while others were outside trying to live their lives, we now have another family dealing with tragedy and another community rattled by the loss of a beloved neighbor. This violence must stop, and the person or people responsible for killing Vivian Marrow must be brought to justice. We are asking anyone with information to call the police at (202) 727-9099 or send an anonymous tip to the Text Tip Line by text messaging 50411.”
