It's still a hit and run. Per DC code § 50–2201.05c:

(a) Any person who operates or who is in physical control of a vehicle within the District who knows or has reason to believe that his or her vehicle has been in a collision shall immediately stop

But per OP's description, the at-fault driver did stop. And then pulled into a parking area. At which point the victim took off.

The victim should have pulled over, too.

I agree. Makes it an odd hit and run!
