WP: Man Charged in Death Resulting From 11/4 Assault

Outside Mudrick's

Ok, this is a weird one. Reginald Vernell Cullen (59) has been charged with homicide in the death of Reginald Taylor (69). Yes, they are both named Reginald. Cullen assaulted Taylor on November 4th 2009. Taylor was hospitalized from that time until his death on March 2nd. The death was ruled a homicide on Monday. The assault took place near Bladensburg Road and Levis Street. The official cause of death was blunt force trauma. Right on that corner you have Mudrick's, a store with a B license (beer and wine, but no liquor). There are two liquor stores less than a block away in either direction. This is a popular place for drunks to congregate...and sometimes they fight. I don't know what exactly happened in this particular case, but I'm assuming it was the scenario described above. I suppose this goes into the 2010 numbers, so that's two murders for Trinidad in 2010. Crap.

Is everything OK with Dangerously Delicious Pies? Trying the phone number listed on their website gets a disconnected message from the phone company.

I'm sure everything is fine. Probably just a glitch with the phone line.

Despite the morbid and sad story, loving the first picture.
