WASHINGTON - A D.C. man is in jail after police say he shot and killed his father inside a Navy Yard apartment.

Darryl Smith, 61, was found dead Tuesday evening inside The Parc Apartments on First Street Southeast.

His sister, Sharon Smith, told FOX 5 she was in disbelief that her nephew, 37-year-old De-Angelo Goldston, was the one who pulled the trigger.

"I'm upset because he loved his son," she said. "He loved all of his kids dearly. He would always say, ‘I’d die for my kids,’ but I never thought he would die by the hands of his kid."

FOX 5 was at the scene Tuesday when Sharon Smith arrived and knocked on the door, calling out to her brother. She said Goldston answered and stepped back, revealing her brother lying in a pool of blood.

According to court documents, Goldston shot his father at least three times in front of his two-year-old daughter, who later told police and Sharon, "My dad shot my pop pop."

Smith, who used a wheelchair, had a passion for music and loved rapping. His family shared a video of him performing at his mother’s funeral.

"If he was standing here right now, he’d say, ‘Let me ask you something, you like rap?’ and he would just start spitting," Sharon Smith said. "He wanted to be a rapper. He was a really good person. I’m going to miss him. A heart of gold."

Investigators recovered a gun at the scene.

Goldston has been charged with second-degree murder and remains in jail.

He appeared in court Wednesday, and his preliminary hearing is set for March.
