OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

Montgomery County deputies received a call that someone had stabbed 4 people. Police arrived in the 4300 block of Harvard Street and found him with a knife. He was shot and killed by Officer Justin Lee.

The same officer Justin Lee, a MAGA Trump supporter, was suspended without pay in October of 2023 for his involvement in the J6 attack on the Capitol. Officer Lee was documented to attack other police officers during the J6 event. Story also linked below. He was arrested, not for the murder of Ordonez, but for his prior involvement in January 6 in D.C. Arrested on Thursday, Oct. 19. 2023.

A release from the D.C. United States attorney’s office said that Lee, who is from Rockville, Md., was facing “felony offenses of civil disorder and assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers” as well as several other misdemeanor offenses. He was facing a total of seven counts, according to his federal indictment.

It is unclear why he was allowed back on the beat after storming the Capitol but because he was sent back to work undisciplined, Franklin Castro Ordonez died.
