A homicide defendant accepted a plea deal before DC Superior Court Judge Todd Edelman on Jan 23.
Faizon Mason, 23, is charged with second-degree murder while armed for his alleged involvement in the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Wayne McDaniels on Feb. 10, 2025 at Union Station, on the unit block Massachusetts Avenue, NE.
According to court documents, officers located McDaniels at a parking garage, suffering from a gunshot wound to the back.
During the hearing, Destiny Fullwood-Singh, Mason’s attorney, told Judge Edelman that Mason was prepared to accept a guilty plea for voluntary manslaughter and carrying a pistol without a license, in exchange for the prosecution not seeking an indictment. Through the deal, the prosecutors agreed to limit their sentencing request to the middle of the guidelines.
Parties are set to reconvene on March 23.
