Excerpt:


The 20-year-old District man accused of killing a taxi driver over the weekend had escaped from the custody of the city's troubled Department of Youth and Rehabilitation Services, and evidence from the crime was found at the home of his aunt -- who is a counselor for the agency -- according to sources and court documents.

Rashad Terrell Slye was charged Sunday with first-degree murder in the slaying of Prince George's County cab driver Domingo Ezirike. The 40-year-old was found fatally shot in his cab by D.C. police detectives working a safety compliance checkpoint two blocks away in Northeast Washington.
