Two women have been charged with m#rdering and dism3mbering a man in Washington, D.C., with one of them then using his severed thumb to steal money from his bank account to splurge on Uber rides, marijuana and booze, court documents and police reveal.
Tiffany Taylor Gray, 22, was arrested in Maryland earlier this month (July 2024) on a warrant for first-degree m#rder while armed for the sl@ying of 53-year-old Fasil Teklemariam, who was found d3ad inside his Washington, D.C., apartment on April 5, 2024, the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) said.
One witness said that Gray worked as a sex worker and that Gray described Teklemariam as her “sugar daddy,” although those claims have not been verified by police, an MPD spokesperson tells Fox News Digital.
Teklemariam, a married father of two, according to a GoFundMe page, was found inside his Peabody Street home with st@b wounds, multiple blunt-force fractures to his head and missing his right thumb.
Broken glass was also found around his body and on his bed while forensic detectives determined that cleaning agents had been used to hide some evidence at the scene, according to an arrest affidavit.
The exact details surrounding his d3ath have not been revealed.
A witness told police that Teklemariam’s thumb was used to gain access to a finance app on his cellphone — which was stolen from the scene — in order to buy liquor and drugs.
Teklemariam’s thumb and cell phone have not yet been recovered.
Police say that Gray is one of four suspects — two women and two men — being investigated in relation to the sl@ying.
