The mayor of Hyattsville, Maryland, which is located just outside of Washington, DC, is dead at the age of 44. Police are calling his death a "suicide," but MTO News spoke with a family member and a friend who think that the death deserves further investigation.
“It is with great sadness that we report that our beloved Hyattsville Mayor Kevin Ward passed away yesterday, January 25, from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound,” a post on the official website for Hyattsville said on Wednesday. “Mayor Ward was a valued and trusted leader and a fierce advocate for all the people of Hyattsville. We are heartbroken at this loss and extend our deepest sympathy to his family.”
Kevin was openly gay - he was married to a man, and had two teenage sons.
Kevin also served as city council president in Hyattsville, located just north of the border between Maryland and the District of Columbia, and became mayor at the end of 2020 when then-Mayor Candace Hollingsworth stepped down. Ward, a Democrat, then won the mayoral election in May 2021.
Ward’s body was found by United States Park Police officers in Fort Marcy, a park in McLean, Virginia. That's the same park, MTO News confirmed, that police found dead White House counsel Vince Foster at - with a self inflicted gunshot wound.
Fort Marcy Park is popular among gay men, who often go there to look for discreet sexual hookups, MTO News has learned. It's not clear why Mayor Kevin was in the park.
One of Mayor Kevin's extended family reached out to MTO News and told us, "Please, they need to look into this. [Mayor Kevin] would not have committed suicide. This could be a murder."
“I am a pretty straightforward person,” Mayor Kevin’s campaign website reads. “I believe in listening more than talking. But when I talk, I am not one to mince words or tell people what they want to hear. I believe in doing the work. I believe that if I can help someone, then I can change her or his life. This is why I dedicated my career to providing the best technology to education and human services, to help as many as I can.”
I don’t remember hearing about that in the Foster Arkancide info either.
9mm ???
I thought that the “suicide” gun was an old revolver the didn’t even have a Firing Pin.
I wouldn’t assume that’s better at all; putting them with two disordered personalities is abusive. They aren’t “just like us” with a minor difference.
You’re right, it was a revolver. Don’t know about the firing pin thing... I do remember there was no powder residue found on his hands and no blood at the park scene.
As a black queer politician, he believed in listening rather than talking.
He was listening to hear what the speaker was offering him. He was from Maryland........he was corrupt
!What! I’m right !?! I guess even a blind squirrel gets a nut once in a while. Mark the calendar but don’t tell the Mrs.🤪
I do remember there was something wrong with the pistol and it couldn’t fire.
The last 4:25:00 of the Rolex 24 @ Daytona is on USA NETWORK until Noon and then it switches to NBC Local for the last hour.
I’ve been watching since 1:40pm yesterday. I like IMSA.
Back in the late 70s & early 80s, I was with the BFG Racing Team, and did tire testing in the Porsche 962 (957 livery when we went to LeMans), and miss going to the 24hrs of Daytona.
Thanks for the heads-up on network change.
damn... forgot
Something went through his mind.
Give them “marriage,” full acceptance (he was elected as a “gay” mayor), and a full entourage of supporters and it still isn’t enough. I’m sure he was at the park pursuing his Grindr app for just the perfect cornholing.
I didn’t think life insurance paid in the case of suicide. But who knows with the special case of faggots?
Yeah, better stick to public library men’s rooms for that.
I’m will to grant that the boys may have been products of a former normal marriage before this guy was recruited as a fag. But that happened more in the 70’s.
We’re not supposed to connect the dots. We’re “homophobic bigots” if we do.
He committed a hate crime against himself, being “gay.” How is that penalty to be assessed?
No, it’s not better. It’s tragic that we’ve reached the point that so many just fall into this defeated acceptance in this day. Being places with homosexuals as “parents” is the definition of abuse.
I’ve crunched the numbers. Active Grindr accounts in the US alone number in the millions. Grindr is used exclusively for sodomite hookups. This means that, assuming even a conservative estimate of homosexual adult men at 2%, nearly every sodomite has a grinder account, and probably quite a few abused minors who’ve been recruited. I’m even willing to bet that Pete Buttplug is hooked up.
It seems like practically every mayor in America is black, gay or both.
Whatever happened to white privilege?
I’ve been able to watch all but about six hours or so when I didn’t fall asleep in the 02:00 - 05:45. I remember you told told me about that the 962/957 ride back in the day.
They’ve been jumping around nbc/peacock & USA networks.
? On the center hood of the Acura is a Loop (upside down U) in addition to the Antennas and PitotTubes ? Any idea what it is for ? Is it hoist point or used to keep the car cover off the Antennas ?
Those two Porches are beating on each other. And they hit the dirt snd spin both of them.
Helio climbs the fence.
