DC Representative Owolewa's Home Vandalized in Political Attack

Dr. Oye Owolewa, Washington D.C.'s shadow representative and candidate for the D.C. Council at-large seat, had his home vandalized with blue spray paint displaying the letters "F U," which he discovered after returning from an event. Owolewa condemned the act as a form of political violence intended to intimidate him due to his outspoken critiques of current political figures and his challenge to the status quo. The vandalism occurred exactly one year after Owolewa's near-death car accident, adding to its significance. Despite the attack, Owolewa stated he will not be intimidated and plans to enhance his home security. D.C. police are investigating the incident, but no arrests have been made, and the security cameras at Owolewa's home were not functional at the time. Owolewa emphasized that the attack will not deter his advocacy or political campaign.
