From a DC Police report. Detectives from the Metropolitan Police Department's Homicide Branch are investigating a homicide that occurred on Friday, September 1, 2023, in the 100 block of Farragut Street NW, Washington DC. At approximately 11:09 p.m., members of the Fourth District responded to the listed location for the report of a shooting. Upon arrival, officers located an adult male shooting victim. DC Fire and Emergency Medical Services responded to the scene and found no signs consistent with life. The decedent has been identified as 43-year-old Richard Ruffin, III, of Silver Spring, MD.
This is the second memorial to a homicide victim in this block in the past few months.
According to a concerned neighbor who I spoke with, disputes in this block are often over relationships. Unfortunately, some have turned deadly.
May there be peace and justice for this community, and rest for Mr Ruffin's soul.
