City Paper looks at life & death of Logan Circle gay man shot by DC police
”You could see that they really did love each other. Near the end, it wasn’t just my brother’s problems and Paul’s. I think it kind of wore on each other. They would fight. ‘Go away I don’t want you anymore.’ The next day, they’re back together, holding hands.”
Kristopher Kerstetter, the brother of David Kerstetter, a gay man who was shot to death by police in an incident that occurred recently in the Logan Circle area. David Kerstetter is profiled by City Paper as an individual who suffered from bipolar disorder and ADHD, and appeared to be having a incident of panic and parnoia when he pulled a knife on police who came to see what was happening at his home. It is stated that Kerstetter’s lover, Paul Brazitis, died unexpectedly a year ago from liver failure. (Washington City Paper)
