Dj Key-K returns. Many of you will remember Quike Morales (Dj Key-K), a bartender/waiter at the Argonaut (1433 H Street), who was shot last September. Well, he's back djing at the Argonaut, and it's for a special cause. Details from the flyer below:
Quike Morales a.k.a DJ Key-K is a victim of a violent crime. He was shot in the head on September 30th 2006 while standing on his girlfriend’s porch at 637 14th Pl, a block away from the Argonaut. As a result of the shooting, he lost an eye and a piece of his skull. DJ Key-K is still waiting for 2 more surgeries but recovering fast from his injuries.
“Music is Bulletproof” is a way for him to show his appreciation to friends and customers of the Argonaut who have helped him in these difficult months of his life, and to raise his voice against the violence in this neighborhood. Admission is free, and any money raised will be used to benefit other victims of violent crimes.
In an effort to raise awareness, Quike is hoping to do similar events in all the bars around H Street in a bid to get the attention of DC authorities and community leaders.
Along with DJ Key-K is DJ Seth-B, who was one of the first people to show support for this campaign against violence.

“Music is the medicine of the soul” - DJ Key-K

I don't Quike, but I do frequent the Argonaut; so I'm glad hear that he's out and about again. Big ups to him for taking something as tragic as being shot in the head and using it as an impetus to get active in the community.
Was there ever an accurate explanation for why he was shot? There was a lot of conflicting information at the time of this shooting including the location (which was not on the porch according to MPD but a quarter block down the street). The police accounts and the accounts from Argonaut varied widely on other matters as well. Plus was the assailant ever captured?

Not one that I ever heard and I don't know that an arrest was ever made either; but I never made any follow up inquiries so take that FWIW.
Elise is in touch with Quike; perhaps she could get the info from him?
