A street dice game in the Barry Farm neighborhood of Southeast Washington, D.C., ended in fatal violence in the early hours of August 22, 2015. Police were called to the 1300 block of Stevens Road SE at about 2:51 a.m. after a shooting; 24-year-old Antonio Dean was found with multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators recovered both .45 caliber and 9mm shell casings where the shooting occurred.

Witness accounts in police statements say a verbal dispute during the dice game escalated: one witness reported seeing a man pull a handgun, point it at Dean, and fire a volley of numerous shots before walking away at a fast pace. Less than two months later, on October 14, 2015, police announced the arrest of 29-year-old Donta Curtis McNeil, who was charged with first-degree murder while armed and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence. A witness identified McNeil from a photo array; McNeil pleaded not guilty.

If anyone was at the dice game or has information about the argument or the people involved, please share what is known.
