In the early morning hours of August 21, 2016, 24-year-old Dante Miller was found dead in an alley in the 1200 block of 18th Place NE in the Carver neighborhood of Northeast Washington, D.C. Police discovered Miller shortly after 2 a.m.; he had been shot multiple times in the chest and was pronounced dead at the scene. An autopsy later recorded eight gunshot wounds.

Investigators tied the killing to a confrontation that began the evening before at a cookout and fish fry both Miller and 35-year-old Montez Jacob Warren attended. Reports say an argument involved a woman who was with Warren; the dispute flared, Warren allegedly fired several shots as Miller tried to flee, then stood over Miller and fired more before leaving in a car. A warrant charging Warren with first-degree murder while armed was issued days after the homicide, and he was taken into custody on October 12, 2016.

On February 5, 2018, Montez Warren pleaded guilty to second-degree murder while armed; the plea recommended 15 to 22 years in prison. If anyone knew Dante Miller, where he spent his time, or witnessed the events that night, please share what can help the case.
