Samuel Davis pleaded guilty July 13 to one count of second-degree murder.
Davis, 59, was previously charged with first-degree murder for allegedly strangling Mawuli Kocuvie on the 1700 block of Benning Road, NE. Kocuvie, 53, was killed on Oct. 28, 2017.
DC Superior Court Judge Ronna Beck told Davis that he could, under the agreement, receive life in prison. Davis insisted on waiving his right to trial and moved forward with the plea deal.
A felony status conference is scheduled for Jan. 25, 2019.
