Northeast DC resident Deandre Miles was arrested and charged with premeditated first-degree murder while armed after Fuller was found shot to death outside of a group of area businesses this earlier year.
Fuller, 28 — a former staff member for Councilwoman Brianne Nadeau — was killed in the 1500 block of Maryland Avenue NE on Monday, Oct. 16, officials announced.
The shooting was reported shortly before 5:30 a.m., when the Northwest DC resident was rushed to an area hospital, where he later died from his injuries, police said.
Miles turned himself in on Wednesday, Dec. 27.
Fuller, who played football at UMass Dartmouth, was a former constituent services representative for Nadeau's office for two years in 2018 and 2019.
"Davon grew up in Ward 1, was well-loved in our community, and worked incredibly hard in our office," Nadeau stated. "He was a proud and caring father of two young children (and) his murder is a tragic loss. I sincerely hope there is justice for him."
Advocate Markus Batchelor also took to social media to mourn Fuller's passing at the time.
According to Commissioner Kelvin Brown, Fuller was a father who cared about his community and tried to make lives better for his neighbors.
Fuller has a checkered past in DC, with a previous arrest for a shooting in 2019 when shots were fired at a man during a dispute in front of a marijuana pop-up in Northeast DC.
No additional information about Miles or his initial court appearance was provided by the Metropolitan Police Department.
