RUN OVER THE VICTIM OF ATM ROBBERY

By Bob Walsh

 

The vehicle used in the hit-and-run death of Donell Phillips.
 

Donell Phillips, 55, was in a crosswalk minding his own business in D.C. early Wednesday shortly after having taken some cash from an ATM machine.  He was apparently observed by some miscreants who wanted the money.  IN order to get it they simply ran his ass over, killing him, and then robbed his corpse.

The incident occurred shortly after 4 a.m. on U St. NW at 12th St.  Phillips was an overnight concierge at an apartment building and was generally thought of as being a good guy. 

The stolen vehicle used in the crime was recovered fairly quickly.  There are two suspects who were apparently involved in at least two other armed robberies early that morning.  Their identities are unknown.
