A high school football player and his co-defendant pleaded guilty to murdering his mother’s former lover.

Gabriel Michael Davies and Justin Jiwoon Yoon were 16 years old on Aug. 28, 2022, when they broke into the home of Daniel McCaw, 51, in Pierce County, Washington, and fatally shot him.

Authorities said surveillance footage depicted the boys sneaking in through the dog door. Less than an hour later, McCaw left his detached garage and entered the residence, never to emerge. Davies and Yoon exited the home through the side door before running back and forth to the garage, carrying items.
