During a status hearing July 19, a murder defendant pleaded guilty to second-degree murder while armed.

Jerome Wilson, 36, was initially charged with felony murder, robbery and two gun-related offenses for his role in the death of Sean Anderson, 48, on the 2300 block of Good Hope Road, SE on March 24, 2018.

D.C. Witness previously reported that Wilson was the last person with Anderson before he was found dead. Apparently, the men were in Anderson’s apartment smoking crack cocaine and watching pornography.

A witness told police Anderson was armed with a revolver, which a Metropolitan Police Department detective said could have been the murder weapon.

Wilson’s sentencing is scheduled on Nov. 1.
