On Aug. 24, Demetrius Void accepted a plea offer extended by prosecutors.
Void, 36, was originally charged with first-degree murder while armed, assault with a dangerous weapon while armed, three counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, one count of unlawful possession of a firearm, and armed carjacking for his involvement in a dispute that resulted in the fatal shooting of 24-year-old Anthony Lawson. The incident occurred on Sept. 25, 2018, on the 6200 block of Eastern Avenue, NE.
During the Aug. 24 hearing, Void accepted a deal that required him to plead guilty to one count of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence in exchange for dismissal of all other indictment charges.
Sentencing before DC Superior Court Judge Michael O’Keefe is set for Nov. 17.
