SMALL TIME DRUG DEALER DEAD IN DRIVEBY SHOOTING: DCPD
responded to a call saying a man was laying dead half in, half
The
Coroner's Office has identified the man as 20 year old Jorge Chavez of New
York Avenue. Chavez has a long history of run-ins with DCPD over various
crimes involving theft, drugs, guns and soliciting prostitutes. Police
have no motive at this time, though certainly Chavez's criminal history
could point to numerous possible motives such as turf killings. Chavez
received two clean shots to the head at point blank range with .380 ammo
rounds. There were drugs on

NORTHWEST - GABBY WILDWOOD
AND LOKI ON AGAIN THIS WEEK?: Overheard
at a trendy eatery in The
tale becomes more twisted, however, as it always does. Enter Wildwood's
latest bodyguard, who apparently takes his job description literally, as
he was seen tickling her tonsils with his tongue this week at Web of
Night, in an entourage that included Ashley Peterson, Peterson
stormed out in tears at this point, and was said to have sped off, after
a heated argument with both Raine and Gabby in the Web parking lot.
Rather strange when just weeks ago she was trying out Loki's newest
tricks in the privacy of his own home. Speaking of Loki, his comment
upon seeing Raine and Gabby return, freezing, was, "You should really stop having sex outside in this time of the year."
Playing it off, she retorted, "And you should stop having sex
with Later in the conversation he apparently confused her with his new protégé, Meghan Ambrose, referring to Wildwood by the wrong name. Are the two so hard to tell apart, or is it simply the sheer volume of women (and men) this tragic lothario processes in a single year? Then, just when it wasn't interesting enough, the mystery brunette, last seen with Professor Aephaestus at the Hush, appears, sans magician, making some magic of her own with Loki and with Lady Helen's new man, after La Fairfield had departed for the evening.
Speaking
of couples who feud in public, things seem to be growing more and more
interesting in the world of racing, at least
Good
news is, however, at least one couple in town seems to be getting along
Speaking of Bound, if we must, who was that absolutely breathtaking violet-eyed young man that Gabby Wildwood was said to have been ever so desperately pleading to F-(expletive deleted) her? It certainly wasn't Raine, who was in there the week prior, having his own flagellating fun with the still unidentified mysterious "Beth," and no Gabrielle in sight.
We're going to need a TV Guide to keep up shortly in this crowd.

person, and no signs of a struggle. No fingerprints on the car or on
surrounding areas. The Verizon payphone nearby held Chavez's prints and a
few others, not yet identified, but all older than the day he was killed.
This is the second Hispanic male, in that predominantly black

was not a shooting.
LOS
ANGELES, CALIFORNIA — A routine police patrol today discovered
that the 15-foot golden statue of the angel Moroni was missing from
its lofty perch atop the Los Angeles Mormon Temple. The statue, only
recently restored to its place following the disastrous Devil’s
Night earthquake, apparently vanished at the height of a violent
thunderstorm that swept the 
city
last night. Elders at the temple were shocked and visibly upset at
the news but have refused to speculate as to the circumstances of
the statue’s disappearance.
The
local Temple here in Kensington, Maryland, had no comment on the
incident. They experienced their own share of woes when non-Mormon
construction workers, on-site to assemble their Temple back in 1980,
had been drinking, and decided as a prank to shove a beer bottle
into the trumpet on their statue of Moroni. Being 24K gold leaf,
there would have been more damage caused by forced removal than to
leave it and erect it with the bottle intact. It was left inside,
when the figure was mounted the following day.
TROY,
NEW YORK—State Troopers investigating the derelict garbage scow
May Belle, found floating along the Hudson River last week,
discovered the mutilated body of elderly mariner Alluscious Henry,
along with the remains of three mongrel wolves. 
Today,
the Albany County Medical Examiner declared Henry’s death a result
of an attack by rabid wolves and alerted county and state public
health and animal control officials. Investigators also uncovered
some evidence linking Henry to a fringe animal-rights group called
the "Sept of the Green."
CHICAGO,
ILLINOIS—In the third case of graveyard vandalism in as many
nights, the tomb of Chicago socialite Annabelle Sforza was dug up
last night by parties unknown. Ms. Sforza’s skeletal remains are
found scattered around the Forest Lawns graveyard and her tombstone
smashed by what appear to be hammer blows.

last week, Wildwood and Loki were having dinner, when supposedly she was

a ring. Spokespeople from both camps refused to confirm or deny the
actual story behind the comment.

famously, in more ways than one, although last night in the Web does up
the stakes a bit. Another mystery man to the playing field, this refined
Latin Lover has swept one Lady Helen Fairfield right off of her royal
feet. Some sources say, in fact, he had accompanied her to her foray at
Bound, not to mention numerous public outings elsewhere in DC, a weekend
in New York via Jamison's private jet, and several Christmas parties
this past week. Rumor has it his name is Cross, but nothing much more is
known about him yet. The usual reward applies for any who want to come
forward with the good dish.
OSAKA,
JAPAN—A previously unknown terrorist group calling itself the
Fifth Age today released a nerve agent in a downtown office tower,
killing over 500 workers there. The leader of the terrorists, a
man known only as Mikaboshi, escaped the police dragnet.
Comparisons
have been made between this and the 1995 Aum Shinrikyo incident,
but there is currently no known connection between the two. Aum
Shinrikyo was an extremely sophisticated Japanese cult that
achieved worldwide notoriety for a chemical nerve gas attack in a
Tokyo subway in March 1995. Although most known for that
particular incident in which sarin gas was used, there exists
documentation that the group acquired and potentially used
biological agents in acts of terrorism. According to official 
reports
from the Japanese and American governments, the Aum may have
staged up to 10 attacks with biological agents between 1990 and
1995. An apocalyptic cult, Aum Shinrikyo was founded in the late
1980’s and by 1995 may have had as many as 40,000 members
worldwide. The cult had a violent attitude toward the outside
world and reportedly justified murder by proclaiming victims as
evil-doers who were committed to hell regardless.
