The Feared Hitman Who Traveled Cities For Revenge And Led DC’s Deadliest Massacre

The Feared Hitman Who Traveled Cities For Revenge And Led DC’s Deadliest Massacre By early afternoon on January 18, 1973, the house at 7700 16th Street Northwest had already gone quiet in the worst way possible. Inside that Washington mansion, children were gone, adults were bleeding, one woman was still breathing through gunshot wounds, barely holding onto life. The men who came through that door did not move like broke robbers hunting pocket money or random stickup boys chasing jewelry. They had driven in from Philadelphia with a message already loaded, then vanished before the full horror could even be understood. To understand why, you have to leave D.C. for a minute, then go back to the streets that built Ronald Harvey.
