Voluntary Manslaughter Defendant Surrenders in Friend’s Stabbing Death

On June 1, Rodney T. Lindsay appeared in court for a felony voluntary surrender hearing. Lindsay signed and agreed to the terms of his sentence. 

Lindsay was originally charged with second-degree murder while armed for stabbing his friend Terrance Gause, 53, on Aug. 14, 2021, on the 700 block of Adrian Street, SE. 

Lindsay, 55, surrendered to a charge of voluntary manslaughter, following the acceptance of a plea deal, and is to serve 72-months in prison and three-years on probation.  

He remains on high intensity supervision program release while he waits to appear for his sentence.

D.C. Superior Court Judge Maribeth Raffinan scheduled Lindsay to report to the FCI Gilmer correctional institution on June 15. If he doesn’t Judge Raffinan plans on issuing a bench warrant.
