Cousins convicted in D.C. murder Two cousins were convicted of killing a man they believed had killed one of their family members, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for D.C.
A D.C. Superior Court jury convicted Gary Dickens, 41, and Antwarn “Tony” Fenner, 37, in the August 2008 shooting death of Stanley Daniels.
Daniels had been a suspect in the July 2008 stabbing death of Dickens’ estranged wife, April Dickens.
April Dickens had recently ended a relationship with Daniels, and Gary Dickens and Fenner believed he was responsible in her death, prosecutors said.
A third man, Eddie Pitts, previously pleaded guilty to his role in Daniels’ death.
