It happened on the 600 block of Rhode Island in 1952, part 4 of many

This is the second look at 144-16-95 [Frank Ray, Melvin Clements; Loran Lovan Taylor, Roland L. Gay – Victims] for information about an incident that happened around the 600 block of Rhode Island Avenue in 1952.

The next statement comes from Annie Gardner of 614 R St NW. I will do my best transcription.

“saw situation when officer shot man said he was lying on sidewalk when I first saw them they were in front of the lamppost dragging him along beating one went for the patrol wagon and one continued to beat while he was lying on the groung [sic] helpless. The officer fired three shots.”
