We have ...The reward has been increased to $50,000. We have been posting flyers all over the area--from Howard, North Cap. and Florida, Cardoza, Logan, Rhode Island, 14th and even 17th where Durval was before he went home. I will continue to post flyers until this town is plastered.<BR/><BR/>He was brutally shot twice in the front-center of his forehead, twice in the side of the head and once through the neck. Execution style. Was this a gang initiation? Someone in the neighborhood has to have seen and/or heard something. Durval must have screamed for help and had his wallet clutched in his hand most likely begging the killer(s) to spare his life. PLEASE! If anyone heard or saw anything at 11th and Q. PLEASE CALL THE FOLLOWING INDIVIDUALS:<BR/><BR/>Call Det. Paul Regan at (202) 425-5563 (cell) or (202) 645-0472 or Det. Doug Carlson on (202) 486-0233 (cell) or (202) 645-6360; if you’d prefer to stay anonymous, call 1-888-919-2746 or send a text to 50411.<BR/><BR/>We must organize some sort of group to stem this. I've lived in this area for 12 years and I've been familiar with it for 25 years, and it is getting worse again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2095284393772305956.post-58250124925066098922008-12-18T14:42:00.000-05:002008-12-18T14:42:00.000-05:00I met Durval in October of 1993... we lived togeth...I met Durval in October of 1993... we lived together in St Paul and Denver... traveled most of the US together..we had not seen each other for a long time....but he will be missed by many I am sure.

Interestingly though no other personal items--cell phone, watch, etc.--were taken from him.<BR/><BR/>I absolutely hate the lack of respect for human life that some in this city possess, and I hate the fact that a culture that commits these types of acts has been allowed to fester in this city for so many years.
