Man dies after Agnostic Front show

A man was beaten to death in Washington DC after a dispute at an Agnostic Front show.

A man was beaten to death in Washington DC after a dispute at an Agnostic Front show. 


Reportedly the man threw a brick through the front window of Washington's DC9 Nightclub. Between three and five people exited the club after the window was shattered, pursued the man down the block and "severely beat him." Police responded to the incident around 2:30 A.M., and the man was taken to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead.


Five arrests have been made in regards to the incident, with unconfirmed reports saying that those arrested were employees of the nightclub. A spokesperson for DC9 co-owner Joe Englert issued this statement:


"...we are saddened by the events of last night. Our staff, families, and friends look forward to our day in court to prove the innocence of our long-time staff."
