A murder defendant entered a plea of not-guilty for killing a man in 2018.

Tywan Porter, 26, is charged with second-degree murder while armed for allegedly shooting 39-year-old Alexander Mosby on the 2200 block of Savannah Terrace, SE on May 26, 2018.

During a felony status conference, the prosecutor said she did not have a plea offer to give, but if Porter was interested in one, his attorneys should contact them.

On the night of the crime, police went to the listed address in response to a report of a shooting. Officers found Mosby suffering from a gunshot wound to his chest. Mosby succumbed to his injuries at an area hospital.

Porter is scheduled for a status hearing on May 23.
