Mother Accused Of Retribution Shooting After Son Was Slain

Washington Post Staff Writers
Friday, July 14, 2000; Page B01

The mother of a young man gunned down on Martin Luther King Jr.’s
birthday observance, who had grieved that her son’s death went unnoticed as
the city celebrated the life of the civil rights leader, was arrested
yesterday in the shooting of a man she blamed for her son’s death.

Barbara Lipscomb, 48, was arrested at her home in Capitol Heights at 7
a.m. on a charge of assault with intent to kill in a Jan. 26 incident that
left a 21-year-old man paralyzed from the waist down. Police recovered three
handguns and a TEC-9 submachine gun at her home.

“This is a vigilante antic that went awry,” Winston Robinson, commander
of the 7th District, said of the shooting. ” . . . This was an innocent man,
and now he’s paralyzed.”

In February, police arrested Erskine Moore, the boyfriend of one of
Lipscomb’s daughters, in the crime, in the 2400 block of Elvans Road in
Southeast Washington. But they said at the time–in a Washington Post
profile of the case–that other family members might be arrested as the
investigation continued.

Yesterday, police said they had enough evidence to show that
Lipscomb–whom they identified by her most recent married name, Barbara Ann
Martin–was also a shooter that January evening. It was just two days after
the funeral of her son, Le’Pierre Clemons, 19,
who was hit by a spray of bullets in the same Southeast neighborhood.

The 21-year-old man whom Lipscomb, a grandmother and former assistant
manager in the D.C. Housing Authority, is accused of shooting was hit three
times by bullets from a .40-caliber gun. One bullet lodged in his spine,
causing paralysis, police said. He was in the hospital for months and
continues to undergo treatment.

The break in the case came in recent months as the victim struggled to
identify the assailant. It all came together this week,
a combination of victim and witness statements that secured arrest and
search warrants, said Sgt. C.V. Morris.

Lipscomb was arrested yesterday in Prince George’s County and waived
extradition. If convicted, she would face two to 15 years in prison.

Among the guns police confiscated were two that belonged to Lipscomb.
“She had the 9mm and a .38 revolver,” Morris said. “That surprised me,
considering she said she was going to be in the Million Mom March against
gun violence and all that.”

Morris said he had verbally sparred with Lipscomb before, when she said
officers weren’t working hard enough to find her son’s killer.

“A man in a mask killed your son,” Morris said he told her. “That’s one
of the hardest crimes to solve.”

Police made an arrest in her son’s slaying April 5, almost three months
after he was shot. Police say Daniel William Jackson Jr., 20, known as DJ,
fired repeatedly at the teenager. The two had grown up together.

Robinson, the police commander, said the case shows the damage that can
be wrought when people try to find justice on their own. “We wish that
concerned citizens would work with us in the District of Columbia and by no
means take matters in their own hands,” he said.
