On July 10, a DC Superior Court judge sentenced a man to less than five years in prison for his involvement in a 2017 homicide.
Per the terms of a plea agreement, Antwaun Kingwood pled guilty to obstruction of justice and carrying a pistol without a license. He was initially charged with second-degree murder while armed, possession of a firearm during a crime of violence and carrying a pistol without a license in connection with the shooting death of Steven Edward Stewart on the 2200 Block of Minnesota Avenue, SE in 2017.
According to court documents, surveillance footage shows Kingwood, 25, pulling a gun from his waistband and shooting Stewart, 33, outside a store on Minnesota Avenue. A witness identified Kingwood as the shooter.
Judge Danya Dayson sentenced Kingwood to 4.5 years in prison and six years on probation following his release.
