华盛顿特区男子 Irv Duff 因在一次烧烤架争执后枪杀邻居，11月13日在哥伦比亚特区高等法院被判处36年监禁，刑满后还须接受5年监督释放。Duff 现年36岁，受害人 Darnell Gibson 案发时26岁。
判决由法官 Michael Ryan 作出，联邦检察官 Jeanine Ferris Pirro 公布案情。Duff 于2026年6月23日被裁定五项罪名成立，包括一项持械二级谋杀罪、一项持危险武器袭击罪、一项有重罪前科者非法持有枪支罪，以及两项在暴力犯罪期间持有枪支罪。
据检方在庭上出示的证据，2023年8月1日晚间约9时30分，Duff 在女友所住公寓的楼梯间与女友发生口角，其间把走廊里属于 Gibson 的一台烧烤架掀翻。Gibson 走出公寓后，两人为烧烤架争吵起来。Duff 提出到屋外打斗，Gibson 应允后回屋准备。Duff 则退到停在街边的车旁，并打电话警告女友马上要发生枪战。
Gibson 随后走出公寓，其女友紧随其后。两人相隔至少60英尺对骂之际，Duff 掏出手枪连开22枪，子弹险些击中 Gibson 的女友。Gibson 在转身逃跑时背部上躯干中三枪，当场身亡。Duff 随后驾车逃离现场。
Duff 于2023年12月8日被捕，此后一直被羁押。都会警察局负责侦办此案，临时局长 Jeffery Carroll 一同出席宣布；本案由助理联邦检察官 Joshua Hall 与 Wes Faulkner 起诉。（来源：美国司法部）
D.C. Man Irv Duff Sentenced to 36 Years for Shooting Neighbor Dead After Argument Over a BBQ Grill
Irv Duff, 36, of Washington, D.C., was sentenced on November 13 in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia to 36 years in prison, to be followed by five years of supervised release, for shooting his neighbor Darnell Gibson, 26, to death after an argument over a barbecue grill.
The sentence was imposed by Judge Michael Ryan and announced by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro. Duff was found guilty on June 23, 2026, of one count each of second-degree murder while armed, assault with a dangerous weapon, and unlawful possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and two counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence.
According to the government's evidence, at about 9:30 p.m. on August 1, 2023, Duff got into a verbal dispute with his girlfriend in the stairwell of her walk-up apartment and threw a grill sitting in the hallway that belonged to Gibson. When Gibson came out of his apartment, the two argued about the grill. Duff challenged Gibson to come outside to fight, then retreated to his vehicle parked in the street and called his girlfriend to warn her there was about to be a shootout.
Gibson then walked outside, followed closely by his girlfriend. Separated by at least 60 feet, the two hurled insults at each other when Duff took out a pistol and fired 22 rounds toward Gibson and his girlfriend. The bullets narrowly missed the girlfriend. Gibson, as he tried to run away, was struck by three shots to his upper torso, all from behind, and died instantly. Duff fled the scene in his vehicle.
Duff was arrested on December 8, 2023, and has been in custody since. The Metropolitan Police Department investigated the case, and Interim Chief Jeffery Carroll joined the announcement. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Joshua Hall and Wes Faulkner prosecuted the case. (Source: U.S. Department of Justice)
