Murder at DC9

The owner and four employees of a popular nightclub off U Street chased and then fatally beat and stomped a man after he threw a rock through a window of the club, police said.

Ali Ahmed Mohammed, 27, of Silver Spring was killed outside the DC9 Nightclub in an act of "vigilante justice," Police Chief Cathy L. Lanier said.

One of the club's owners, Bill Spieler, 46, and four employees have each been charged with second-degree murder in Mohammed's "savage beating," the chief said.

UPDATE: As of 5:10 p.m. on Friday afternoon, officials at the Medical Examiner's Officer say they have not ruled the Friday morning death outside of DC9 a homicide. For the latest updates go to Crime Scene.
