D.C. gay bar owner robbed at gunpoint on P Street
The co-owner of the popular D.C. gay bar Number 9 was robbed at gunpoint at about 10:20 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 27, while walking on the 1400 block of P Street, N.W., according to a D.C.
police report. The report says Edward Bailey, co-owner of both Number 9 and the nearby gay bar Trade, told police he was walking westbound on P Street when three juvenile-aged males approached him in front of 1447 P St., N.W., which is the Wells Fargo Bank building.
The police report says the three male suspects had exited a light-colored silver sedan with a Maryland license plate, the number of which was not obtained, with one additional suspect in the driver’s seat.
According to the report, Suspect 1 “demanded Victim 1’s jacket while pointing a black handgun at Victim 1, in which Victim 1 complied.” The report adds, “Suspect 2 patted Victim 1 down and stole his wallet from his rear right pant pocket.” The report identifies Bailey as Victim 1.
