A prosecutor informed a DC Superior Court judge they are in the process of extending a plea offer to a murder defendant.
On December 3, 2020, Metropolitan Police Department officers responded to a report of a traffic accident. Upon arrival, they found 25-year-old Devonte Wilson inside a vehicle suffering from a gunshot wound to the neck. Wilson succumbed to his injuries the next day and Mohamed Goodwin was arrested later that month. Goodwin, 33, was under the supervision on the Pretrial Services Agency at the time of his arrest.
During the most recent hearing for this case on Feb. 28, the court was informed that Goodwin may be accepting a global plea deal that would encompass this case as well as another one involving a firearm possession charge.
Defense attorney Lee Smith asked for a two to three-week continuance as they await the prosecution’s plea deal offer. Judge Milton Lee scheduled parties to reconvene on March 23.
