WTOPScott GelmanSeptember 18, 2025A 38-year-old man was arrested in North Carolina this week and charged with the “hate-based” murder of a transgender woman in Northeast D.C. in July, officials said.With help from tips and FBI technology, Edgar Arrington was arrested and charged with first-degree murder while armed. He’s accused of shooting and killing 28-year-old Daquane “Dream” Johnson near the Benning Market Store over the summer.“You don’t know what you did to this family,” Vanna Terrell, Johnson’s aunt, told WTOP. “You don’t know what you did to my sister. You don’t know what you did to her siblings. You don’t know how this affected our whole family.”Charging documents describe the sequence of events that led to the shooting before 1 a.m. on July 5. A witness who had parked nearby to go to the store told police they watched Johnson approach a group and greet Arrington. The witness then told investigators that Johnson responded, “I’m a female, don’t play with me. I’ll put you down.”
She will be remembered!
