MURDER USA Accused Killer Daeyon Ross of District also plugged two dogs in another vehicle he carjacked after killing Kurt Modeste as he was in line to buy lunch at Mcdonald’s.
State’s Attorney Braveboy announced the indictment of 22-year-old Daeyon Ross on July 27th. He is accused of a carjacking spree that left one man and two dogs dead.
In the indictment handed down by a grand jury, Mr. Ross faces 28 counts, including murder, armed carjacking, use of a firearm in a violent crime, and aggravated animal cruelty.
The incident allegedly started at Addison Road South and Rolling Ridge Drive in Capitol Heights on July 2nd, where two women were carjacked. After that vehicle was crashed, the suspect is also accused of attempting to carjack a 56-year-old man in the drive-thru line at the McDonald’s on Ritchie Road. The man was shot and killed. When the carjacking failed, the suspect allegedly carjacked another woman in the drive-thru line, leading police on a chase with that vehicle that ultimately ended in a shootout in Northeast D.C., near 52nd Street and Sheriff Road.
“We believe we will get justice in this case, but obviously, nothing can bring back life,” said State’s Attorney Braveboy. “We are saddened and heartbroken for the family and friends of the individual who was killed. Our job right now is to get justice, and that is what we intend to do.”

LAPLATA RESIDENT ON WAY HOME FROM CHURCH SHOT DEAD IN DRIVE-THRU LINE AT MCDONALDS BY EVIL KILLER
On July 2, 2023, at approximately 12:10 pm, the PGPD was alerted to a carjacking that had just occurred in the area of Addison Road South and Rolling Ridge Drive in Capitol Heights. The preliminary investigation revealed Ross carjacked a Honda CRV at gunpoint.
Police say that a short distance away at Central Avenue and Ritchie Road, Ross was involved in a collision in the CRV. Ross ran from that crash scene and into the parking lot of a Mcdonald’s restaurant on Ritchie Road.
Ross approached an Acura ILX in the drive-thru lane and shot the driver, Modeste, multiple times during an attempted carjacking. Modeste, a Metro bus driver, was on his way home from church and stopped to get some lunch for his bedridden brother, according to a report by News7 reporter Sam Ford.
The victim fled after being shot and drove a short distance away where he was pronounced deceased a short time later.

ROSS ON TO DC AND A FOURTH CARJACKING
Officers from multiple police agencies, including the PGPD, pursued Ross into Washington, DC. At the intersection of 52nd Street and Sheriff Road, Ross exited the carjacked Scion and carjacked a fourth vehicle, a GMC Terrain.
He was involved in a collision in the Terrain a short distance away. As officers approached the scene, an officer with the Capitol Heights Police Department engaged with Ross and was involved in an officer-involved shooting. Neither the officer nor Ross was struck. Ross was taken into custody. A loaded weapon was recovered at the scene.
Ross is in custody in Washington, DC, pending extradition in a hearing set in Superior Court in the District of Columbia on August 2, 2023, to Prince George’s County. Bond was set at $100,000 by Chief Judge of the Superior Court Judith Pipe.
