posted 7:38 pm Tue March 04, 2008 - WASHINGTON
Calloway was shocked to see yellow police tape across from her home and the manicured lawns of upper 16th street. A man's body was found before 8 a.m. in the court yard of the Bennett Hall Apartments. The body could be seen from the busy street.
Resident Michael Jeff had just dropped his child at school when he found out, "I pulled up in my driveway and I turned around and look and I seen someone laying on the ground and I couldn't believe it because I never seen things like that around here."
Tesfaoie Lench lives in the building where the body was found, "It is really bad I have a wife and daughter who live in this building and every time they come and go, I always worry about them."
Police hope the autopsy will help solve the mystery and sooth concerns, "We don't have a lot violent crime in this area so we're very surprised this morning to get this call for this type of situation," said Commander Linda Brown with the Metropolitan Police Department (web|news) .
Police are hoping the autopsy reports due out on Thursday morning will give them the answers they are searching for.
