D.C. police have made an arrest in a deadly stabbing at Wunder Garten beer garden this past weekend. Officers were called to the 1100 block of First Street at 12:46 a.m. Saturday, where they found 45‑year‑old Marvin Urquhart inside an establishment, conscious and breathing but suffering from multiple stab wounds. D.C. Fire and EMS took him to a hospital, where he later died. Detectives arrested 50‑year‑old Cadoza Simms at the scene. Investigators believe Simms stabbed Urquhart during a dispute over entering the establishment. Simms is charged with second‑degree murder while armed. Authorities believe the suspect lives in an apartment building a few blocks from the location. Urquhart was originally from Chesapeake, Virginia, and played football at Virginia Tech as a running back. In a statement posted online, the owners of Wunder Garten said, "We are heartbroken to share that a beloved member of our team tragically lost his life." The business says it has closed temporarily and will announce when it plans to reopen.
