After Metropolitan Police Department Sgt. Enis Jevric shot and killed An’Twan Gilmore—the second of three shootings D.C. officers committed in roughly a week—Chief Robert Contee promised a thorough investigation.
That investigation will determine whether the sergeant’s actions were justified and whether he’ll face any administrative repercussions. But Loose Lips may not be allowed to see the investigation report, and neither will you.
In late May, LL asked MPD for the complete investigative reports into the deaths of D’Quan Young, Jeffrey Price, Marqueese Alston, Eric Carter, Deon Kay, and Karon Hylton-Brown, all of whom died at the hands of D.C. officers. It took the department nearly three months to issue a blanket denial, well past the 15-day deadline required by law. MPD cited three exemptions to FOIA that are intended to protect the right to a fair trial and personal privacy.
“Because some or all of the subject investigations are pending in litigation … no additional records can be released under a FOIA request absent authorization and/or a privacy waiver from the decedents’ families and/or their legal representatives,” the denial letter says.
In effect, MPD is withholding at least some of the records based on the possibility they might get sued in the future. The denial letter does not distinguish between the fatal incidents that are currently the subject of litigation and those that are not. There are no lawsuits filed in the deaths of Young, Carter and Hylton-Brown, according to the Office of the Attorney General. | |

In a rural classroom in India’s Uttar Pradesh state, Annurag Dwivedi Annu is teaching teenage girls a lesson they’ll never forget. It’s not sexual predators he’s warning them about. It’s Muslim men.
“There are a lot of cases where they’ll blackmail girls like you. They take compromising photos of you. In the end, you’ll become suicidal. And those guys? When you’re gone, they chase someone else,” Annu said in the classroom.
“You must have heard of all kinds of Jihad by now,” continues the school’s principal Harshvardhan Singh. “But maybe you’re learning about ‘Love Jihad’ for the first time.”
Singh and Annu are middle aged men, who’ve organized this special lecture because they feel it's their “sacred duty” as devout members of a Hindu nationalist movement. They believe Muslim men are being trained and paid to lure Hindu women into marriage and childbirth. It’s a conspiracy they call “Love Jihad,” and they say it’s designed to convert India into an Islamic nation.
