As Dana Bailey lay dying from a gunshot wound, he told a D.C. police officer, 'Papi shot me.' Prosecutors allege “Papi” was a nickname used by 26-year-old Keyon Slaughter, a Waldorf man whom they say was having an affair with Bailey’s wife.

The killing occurred just after 10 a.m. on Dec. 5, when Bailey, a retired Air Force airman, and Sears returned to their Southeast Washington apartment in the 3200 block of E Street, D.C. homicide detective Michael Pepperman testified. Sears told detectives the couple had been scheduled to go to court that day because they were preparing to have Bailey adopt Sears’s three youngest sons — ages, 10, 8 and 5 — from a previous relationship, Pepperman said.
No arrests were made for more than six months, as detectives investigated. When detectives arrested Slaughter and Sears on July 12, they found that the two now lived together, Pepperman testified. Authorities found surveillance evidence that they said showed Slaughter in a black Nissan Altima following the bus that Bailey and Sears were on as they were making their way to court to start the adoption process. Authorities also pointed to Instagram photos that showed Slaughter wearing what they said was the same dark-colored, Canada Goose jacket and orange hat that Sears said he was wearing at the time of the shooting.
