He was found facedown in the street missing his phone, wallet and car. His partner is questioning authorities' statement that there’s currently “no evidence of foul play.”
A gay Black man was pronounced dead in late May shortly after he was found in the middle of a street in Washington, D.C., without his phone, wallet or any jewelry. His car was missing, too.said he believes otherwise and is searching for answers, as wasErnest Terrell Newkirk, 55, died three hours after telling his partner, Roger Turpin, that he was heading home from a nearby bar. His body was found a mile away from the couple’s D.C. home and not on a direct route from the bar.
Glasgow rebutted Turpin’s assertion that police had declined or ignored his offer of documentation, saying the “initial detective assigned to this case has no record of any offers for additional documents.” And when asked about Turpin’s statement that authorities were not “taking the cause seriously,” Glasgow said that the department “approaches all cases with a profound sense of responsibility” and that “each investigation is given the utmost attention and dedication.
“If there is a crime involved, the police department will rarely give out that kind of information, because they don’t want to spook the people who were responsible,” he said. “If they go on the run, it makes it more difficult for them to track them down.” Given his gregarious personality and his deep ties to the local LGBTQ community, Newkirk was looking forward to the annual D.C. Black Pride weekend, including an unofficial Pride gathering at the Ugly Mug bar on the evening of Saturday, May 27.
The person who reported the incident, Kameron Rogers, 27, told NBC News that he was driving his friend Asia home when they saw Newkirk facedown in the middle of the street. Rogers said he got out of the car, approached Newkirk and then flipped him over to perform CPR and check for a pulse, which was “very faint” at the time. Rogers said Newkirk’s body was cold and he saw indentations on his face from the gravel, which led him to think that Newkirk had been facedown on the street for some time.
While Newkirk’s body was still lying in the street, Rogers was handcuffed and then subsequently detained and charged with unlawful carrying of a firearm in D.C. Rogers, who is licensed to carry a firearm in the neighboring state of Virginia, said he put his handgun in his pocket when he exited the car out of concern for his safety. His firearm case is still under investigation, he said.
When Turpin logged on to the couple’s joint T-Mobile account on May 28, he said, he discovered several outgoing calls from Newkirk’s cellphone to unfamiliar numbers from 6 a.m. to 8 a.m. that morning — hours after Newkirk had been pronounced dead. That same day, Turpin contacted Newkirk’s bank and learned that his debit card had been used several times during the same time frame.
In a follow-up conversation with NBC News on Aug. 15, Jablonski said a detective called him to ask about surveillance video on Aug. 9, the same day NBC News sent an email to the department asking to confirm Jablonski’s statement that the footage was never requested by police.
