The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) arrested a second suspect in the murder of an 11-year-old boy.
Christian Wingfield, a 22-year-old resident of Hillcrest Heights, Md., was arrested July 10 for first-degree murder while armed in the death of Davon McNeal, an 11-year-old resident of Southeast, DC.
DC Superior Court Judge Todd Edelman ordered that Wingfield be released from jail on May 22. The order came after another emergency motion for release because of the COVID-19 pandemic was denied.
His defense attorney, Evan Parke, filed the second motion for release because the COVID-19 pandemic and the fact that Wingfield did not resist when police arrested him after finding a gun with a high capacity ammunition feeding device during a traffic stop.
On July 9, Daryle Bond, an 18-year-old resident of Southeast, DC, was also arrested for first-degree murder while armed in connection to the shooting.
Two additional suspects, Carlo General, 19, and Marcel Gordon, 25, are also wanted for the same charge. DC Police say they should be considered armed and dangerous.
McNeal was fatally shot July 4 at around 9:21 p.m. on the 1400 block of Cedar Street, SE, which is located in the Anacostia neighborhood of DC.
DC Police do not think that McNeal or anyone in his family was a target.
