In the early morning hours of July 5, 2025, Daquane Dream Johnson, a 28-year-old transgender woman, was found unconscious on Benning Road in Northeast Washington, D.C., suffering multiple gunshot wounds. Officers located her about 12:51 a.m.; she was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead. Family and friends remember Dream for her spirit and self-confidence, and community members called for justice after the killing.

Witnesses said three men approached Johnson, shouted a slur, and one of them opened fire, shooting her repeatedly. Investigators later focused on 38-year-old Edgar Arrington of Washington, D.C., who reportedly had harassed Johnson for being transgender before the shooting. Arrington was arrested in early September and charged with first-degree murder while armed with a hate crime enhancement; a judge found probable cause to hold him without bond pending a preliminary hearing.
