Tywan Morris, a 30-year-old DC man, has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for the brutal stabbing murder of 27-year-old mother Danielle Stuckey at a Southeast gas station on October 17, 2021. The deadly altercation occurred at the BP gas station on Alabama Avenue SE, after Morris and his girlfriend got into a brief argument with Stuckey, who was walking with her 12-year-old child to a nearby bus stop. The argument escalated, and Morris retrieved a knife with brass knuckles, which he used to stab Stuckey in the left thigh, killing her.
Morris was arrested on the same day as the murder and has been in custody since November 2023. He was found guilty of second-degree murder while armed by a Superior Court jury on November 12, 2025. In addition to the 20-year prison sentence, Morris will also serve five years of supervised release.
The investigation was conducted by the Metropolitan Police Department’s Homicide Branch, with assistance from Assistant U.S. Attorneys Ariel Dean and Daniel Bromwich, who prosecuted the case. The sentencing was announced by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro and Interim Chief Jeffery Carroll of the Metropolitan Police Department.
The case highlights the senseless violence that can occur in everyday situations, and the importance of holding perpetrators accountable for their actions. Morris’s sentence reflects the severity of the crime and the need to protect the community from violent individuals.
