Man arrested in October shooting that left former DC Council staffer dead

WASHINGTON - A man has been arrested in an October shooting that claimed the life of a 28-year-old who formerly worked for a D.C. councilmember. 

Police say 28-year-old Deandre Miles turned himself in Wednesday for the murder of Davon Fuller. 

Fuller was found suffering from a gunshot wound in the 1500 block of Maryland Avenue, Northeast, around 5:30 a.m. on Oct. 16.

Fuller was reportedly conscious and breathing when DC Fire and EMS arrived to take him to an area hospital but he was later pronounced dead. 

He had previously worked as a constituent services coordinator in Councilmember Brianne K. Nadeau's office in 2018 and 2019. 

Nadeau's office released a statement shortly after the news came out, saying in part, "Davon grew up in Ward 1, was well-loved in our community, and worked incredibly hard in our office. He was a proud and caring father of two young children. His murder is a tragic loss and I sincerely hope there is justice for him."

Miles has been charged with premeditated first-degree murder while armed. No additional details have been released at this time.
