华盛顿男子纵火烧死露宿者被判25年：2020年深夜接连向两名无家可归者点火
美国司法部华盛顿特区联邦检察官办公室10月23日宣布，华盛顿居民 D'Aundrey Scott（32岁）因2020年5月在华盛顿东北区接连纵火、烧死一名露宿男子，被判处25年监禁，联邦检察官 Jeanine Ferris Pirro 公布了这一判决。
Scott 已于2026年8月14日在华盛顿特区高等法院法官 Todd Edelman 面前认罪，罪名包括一项二级谋杀，以及持械袭击、纵火、重罪毁坏财物各一项。Edelman 法官判处其25年监禁，刑满后另加5年监管释放。
根据法庭文件，2020年5月13日凌晨约0时23分，Scott 在华盛顿东北区 H Street 1300号街区走近一名躺在人行道上的成年男子，点燃一件小型可燃物后扔向该男子；对方将燃烧物踢开，未受伤。约凌晨1时04分，Scott 又在 H Street 900号街区走近正在人行道上睡觉的 Darryl Finney（62岁），点燃一件可燃物扔到其身上，随后再泼洒助燃液体，Finney 与其随身物品随即全身起火。
Finney 在全身被火焰吞没的情况下起身走向 H Street，大都会警察局与华盛顿消防及紧急医疗服务部门人员赶到现场施救。Finney 身上多处二度、三度烧伤，经送往当地医院救治，仍于2020年5月15日因伤不治身亡。
联邦检察官 Jeanine Ferris Pirro 在声明中说，Scott 在深夜故意向两名男子点火、烧死 Darryl Finney，行为残忍而冷酷，如今将在监狱中服刑25年。Scott 于2020年5月19日被捕，此后一直被关押。
此案由华盛顿大都会警察局调查，大都会警察局临时局长 Jeffery Carroll 共同宣布判决结果；助理联邦检察官 Brian Ganjei 负责起诉。
D.C. Man Sentenced to 25 Years for Deadly Arson Spree That Killed a Homeless Man
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia announced on October 23 that D'Aundrey Scott, 32, of Washington, D.C., has been sentenced to 25 years in prison for a May 2020 arson spree in Northeast Washington that killed a homeless man, U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro announced.
Scott pleaded guilty on August 14, 2026, before D.C. Superior Court Judge Todd Edelman, to one count of second-degree murder and one count each of assault with a dangerous weapon, arson, and felony destruction of property. Judge Edelman sentenced him to 25 years in prison, to be followed by five years of supervised release.
According to court documents, at approximately 12:23 a.m. on May 13, 2020, Scott approached an adult male lying on the sidewalk in the 1300 block of H Street Northeast, ignited a small flammable object and threw it onto the man, who kicked it off and avoided injury. At approximately 1:04 a.m., Scott approached a second man, Darryl Finney, 62, who was sleeping on the sidewalk in the 900 block of H Street Northeast. Scott ignited a small flammable object and tossed it onto Finney, then splashed an ignitable liquid onto him, causing Finney and his personal effects to catch fire.
Engulfed in flames, Finney managed to get up and walk toward H Street, where the Metropolitan Police Department and D.C. Fire and EMS responded. Finney suffered second- and third-degree burns to multiple parts of his body and, despite treatment at a local hospital, died of his injuries on May 15, 2020.
"D'Aundrey Scott deliberately set two men on fire in the middle of the night, killing Darryl Finney in an act of horrific violence," U.S. Attorney Pirro said. Scott was arrested on May 19, 2020, and has been in custody since.
The case was investigated by the Metropolitan Police Department. Interim Chief Jeffery Carroll joined in the announcement, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Brian Ganjei prosecuted the case.
