A 35-year-old gay man was shot in the head and killed shortly after 3 a.m. Tuesday at 11th and Q streets, N.W., while walking home from the Fox & Hound, a restaurant and bar near Dupont Circle, according to D.C. police.

The victim was identified as Durval V. Martins of the 200 block of Bates Street, N.W. A police statement said Martins also suffered multiple gunshot wounds to the body.

Doesn't DC have one of the highest murder rates (per 1000 people deal) in the nation?  Until proven otherwise, it might just be one of those little murders that happen there day in and day out.  Though, that's a trendy area.
