Two women have been arrested and charged this month in the killing of Fasil Teklemariam, 53, who was found dead inside his apartment on Peabody Street in Northwest on April 5.
Tiffany Taylor Gray, 22, and Audrey Denise Miller, 19, are both being charged with first-degree murder while armed, according to D.C. police.
Court documents allege that witnesses told investigators Teklemariam was Gray’s “sugar daddy,” and that the 22-year-old was involved in prostitution.
An autopsy report found Teklemariam had sustained multiple blunt force fractures to his head, and a stab wound that punctured his stomach, small intestine, aorta and struck his spine.
Gray is also accused of using Teklemariam’s severed right thumb to bypass security measures on his phone to gain access to a payment app.
One witness told police that Gray paid for Uber, weed and alcohol by using the thumb, according to the court documents.
Gray went under fake names to conceal her identity, including the alias “Taylor Greene,” prosecutors said in the court documents.
Around the time period of the killing, the two women were seen on surveillance footage entering and exiting Teklemariam’s apartment along with two men — one of whom was identified in court documents but hasn’t been charged.
The group of four was seen carrying items out of Teklemariam’s apartment after the time he is believed to have been killed, prosecutors said.

Good thing they weren’t using retina scan
Sounds like a scene from The Beekeeper
First degree and premeditated for sure.
That’s a brutal crime even for DC
Or Face ID.
“Sounds like a scene from The Beekeeper”
Just watched it last night.
Yup, release on their own recognizance (no bail), schedule the trial for 2027, and tell them to go forth and sin no more...
That wasn’t supposed to work like that. That was a fear when this tech first came out: “Ooh, they’re going to be cutting off fingers now.”
Nah, they said. A severed finger won’t activate the sensor. The sensor can tell.
Apparently not.
They should be put to death! ....imho
Also Angels and Demons
Cut off their thumbs and make them eat them.
L
Another reason to avoid smartphones.
ah, of course — there’s a race on for the perfect biometric id. whatever, they decide on, something tells me it will involve a mark on the right hand or forehead.
Thumbthing tells me this is going to happen more and more. Eslecial.y with the ultra violent gang members Biden is welcoming into the nation
Hey, if it's good enough for the cartels, it's good enough for here! The eyes are on the prize - new undocumented DemocRATs.
My phones don’t have passwords or any information I just use them for calls nothing else , Oh and Solitaire ,LOL
the thumb print shouldn’t work once severed from the body.
sounds like whoever did the finger print software allowed for it to fudge a bit much.
But I was told that prostitution is a victimless crime.
“Charlie, they took my THUMB!!!”
