Shrine site Woodland Terrace SE DC- removed by Housing and Police officials

Mr Ronald Lee, a lifelong Woodland Terrace resident, and respected local peacemaker, showed me where the large shrine to Antonio McCallister, recently slain in the Woodland Terrace complex of Southeast DC, had been. He said it was removed by Housing and DC Police officials shortly after the community built it.

There were two recent homicides in Woodland Terrace, and there is a large and clearly visible police presence now in place to protect the citizens.

From DC Police reports:
