D.C. man arrested for killing trans teen charged with ‘road rage’ two years earlier
A D.C. man who was charged last week with fatally shooting an 18-year-old transgender woman outside a Mechanicville, Md., bar on March 24 while inside his car was arrested in an unrelated incident in D.C.
in February 2021 for allegedly ramming his pickup truck into a car in an incident police attributed to “road rage.” Among the charges filed against him at that time was Attempted Second Degree Child Cruelty after D.C.
police discovered his three-year-old child was sitting without a seatbelt in the passenger seat of the pickup truck he used to ram the other vehicle.
The St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office announced last week that its deputies, with the support of D.C. police homicide detectives, had arrested that same man — Darryl Carlton Parks Jr. — in D.C.
