OXON HILL, MD — The suspect wanted in the 2024 fatal shooting at a parking garage near MGM National Harbor Hotel and Casino has been found two years later.
On May 11, 2024 around 4:50 a.m., Prince George's police officers were called to a parking garage located in the 100 block of MGM National Avenue after MGM Special Police and Security reported a shooting.
The victim, later identified as 37-year-old Daniel Antonio Thomas of Washington, D.C., was found in the parking garage with gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Several days after the murder, detectives identified 28-year-old Dayon Neal of no fixed address as the suspect. A warrant was obtained for his arrest.
On Monday, the PGPD’s Fugitive Unit, which is part of the U.S. Marshals Service Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force, found and arrested Neal in Charles County.
Neal has been charged with first- and second-degree murder and related offenses. He remains in custody in Charles County pending extradition to Prince George’s County.
