WASHINGTON (DC News Now) — A man from Maryland pleaded guilty Tuesday to the November 2023 murder of a man in Northeast, D.C.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office (USAO) said that Andre Hicks, 40, of Capitol Heights, Md., approached 1705 Benning Rd. NE at about 9:10 p.m. on Nov. 25, 2023. There, Daniel Adams, 34, of Southeast D.C., was standing outside.

After walking up to a group of people outside, Hicks stood for a moment by the front door and looked back at Adams. He pulled out a gun and held it to his side, out of Adams’s view. Hicks then walked back toward where he was standing.
