A Roman Arms Micro Draco 7.62 caliber semiautomatic rifle, a Glock 17 9mm caliber handgun, and a Smith & Wesson M&P .380 caliber handgun (all pictured above) were recovered in the 2400 block of 14th Street, Northwest. CCN: 20-035-548″



14th and Belmont Street, NW during a previous incident

“Dear PoPville,

I wanted to pass along an alarming article published by the Washington Post two days ago which outlines an FBI raid that was performed at our apartment building Capitol View on 14th a couple of weeks ago. A man who is allegedly part of the extremely infamous Triad Chinese organized crime gang apparently abducted someone and held them against their will at our apartment building until the FBI figured it out, and surrounded and raided the premises. We saw FBI agents with bullet proof vests on as we arrived at our building that day, but did not get any details as to what was going on.

If you read the article, it is really unbelievable. There were Uzi’s and really hardcore drugs found in his apartment.

I wanted to send this to you as our apartment building hasn’t done a single thing about this, explained the incident (beyond a very vanilla email — screenshotted above), or responded with any security or other personnel, and I think people at our building and surrounding areas need to know that this scary incident happened here, especially because this isn’t the first time something like this has happened at Capitol View on 14th in the last two months. If you recall, PoPville posted on Jan 4th about another incident at Capitol View on 14th with ANOTHER man on the 4th floor that was gun-related (he got shot, apparently drug related as well), causing major water damage to the apartments on the 4th floor and below. The building again didn’t respond adequately, leaving many residents frustrated. They did put a security guard at the front desk for 3-4 days following the incident in January, but since then there have been 0 security presence and it seems like the building is trying to sweep this last incident under the rug as well without any action. We are really frustrated.”
