The Metropolitan Police Department reported Alan Maybin was arrested on a first-degree murder warrant.

First Degree Murder while Armed-Premeditated, on the release, and first-degree murder while armed and premeditated, on 7News, are not the same charge line. No signs consistent with life, on the release, and officials pronounced him dead, on 7News, are not the same sentence. Monday's arrest is the charge. It is not a conviction.

7News, by Ida Domingo, published Tuesday, November 3, 2026, at 7:46 a.m., with no zone on that line, reported a 43-year-old man has been arrested and charged in connection with the fatal shooting of an 18-year-old in Northwest D.C. earlier this year, police said. It reported the Metropolitan Police Department said Alan Maybin of Northwest D.C. was arrested Monday by members of the Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force, pursuant to a D.C. Superior Court warrant, and charged with first-degree murder while armed and premeditated. First-degree murder while armed and premeditated, on that page, and First Degree Murder while Armed-Premeditated, on the release, are not the same line. D.C., on 7News, and DC, on the release, are not the same abbreviation. It reported the shooting happened July 28 at approximately 10:38 p.m. in the unit block of New York Avenue NW. Northwest, on the release, and NW, on 7News, are not the same ending. It reported officers responded to reports of gunshots and found a man suffering from gunshot wounds, and that officials pronounced the victim, 18-year-old Darron Venable of Southeast D.C., dead at the scene. Officials, on 7News, and DC Fire and EMS after finding no signs consistent with life, on the release, are not the same sentence. 7News does not print Third District. It reported the investigation led to Maybin's arrest more than three months after the shooting. More than three months is 7News. The release prints July 28 and November 2 and does not print that interval. It reported anyone with information is asked to call police at 202-727-9099 or text the department's tip line at 50411, and that the department is offering a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for homicides in the District. Those responsible for homicides in the District, on 7News, and the person or persons responsible for each homicide committed in the District of Columbia, on the release, are not the same reward sentence. The page image is a file photograph of a police cruiser. It is not him. The arrest is what the release and 7News reported. It is not a conviction. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
