DaManuel 'Dee' BarnesStudent, Security Guard


DaManuel "Dee" Anjuan Barnes, 18, a college student and a security guard, died of a gunshot wound Aug. 26 at Wilburn Drive and Addison Road in Seat Pleasant. He lived in Capitol Heights.

Mr. Barnes was shot as he walked home from the Addison Road Metro station. His body was found about 4:20 a.m., Prince George's County police said, and the death is under investigation.

He was born in Cheverly and grew up in Kettering. At age 5, he enrolled in dance school, where he learned tap dancing and later took acting classes. As a child, he performed in the play "Beauty and the Beast" at Landover Mall.

Mr. Barnes played football and basketball with the New Carrollton Boys and Girls Club while in grade school. Emergency brain surgery in 2001 ended his dream of becoming a professional athlete, so Mr. Barnes decided to study to become a lawyer. He attended Bladensburg High School from 2001 to 2003 and graduated in 2005 from Parkdale High School, where he was a member of the mock trial club.

He attended Prince George's Community College and worked for U.S. Security Associates at the UPS facility in Laurel. He was a member of Newborn Church of God-Christ in Fairmount Heights.

His father, Damanuel Garcia Quarles, died in 2000.

Survivors include his mother, Tawanna Owens of Capitol Heights; his stepfather, Mack Owens of Capitol Heights; five brothers and sisters, Bruce Curtis, Nakia Curtis, Dasha Graham, Christina Graham and Makaela Owens, all of Capitol Heights; eight step-siblings, Darcia Malachi, Donovan Malachi and Deja Lewis, all of Gaithersburg, and Garcia Quarles, Angela Porter, Antonio Porter and Alexis Porter, all of Washington.
