On the late afternoon of Monday, February 10, 2025, 18-year-old Wayne McDaniel was shot and killed inside Washington, DC’s Union Station. First responders found him unconscious and not breathing near the escalators leading to the parking garage; he was pronounced dead at the scene from a gunshot wound to his back after life-saving efforts.

Surveillance footage showed McDaniel and another man entering the bus waiting area together and interacting shortly before the shooting. Police say an altercation occurred when McDaniel allegedly attempted to take something from the other man, who then produced a firearm and shot McDaniel as he ran; McDaniel collapsed at the escalator.

Authorities later released images of the suspect and solicited tips. No other key facts about motive or what was taken have been publicly established. Does anyone have information about McDaniel’s movements at Union Station that afternoon or about the encounter in the bus waiting area?
