A fourth person has been arrested and charged in the October 2015 stabbing death of Cortez Lamont Clark, 32.
On Monday, 22-year-old Ameesha Gray was arrested, and has been charged with first-degree murder. She will be presented in court on Tuesday.
John Allen, 26, was charged with second-degree murder while armed; Tayvon Felton, 19, and Wade Willson, 20 have been charged with first-degree murder while armed in connection to Clark’s death.
In the arrest warrant for Allen, a witness said they saw Allen, Felton, Willson and a woman, suspected to be Gray, lure Clark into Allen’s apartment in the 300 block of Parkman Pl, SE on Oct. 10 with the intent to rob him.
Allen told police in an interview, detailed in the arrest warrant, he served as a look-out as Clark was led into the apartment and beaten to death.
Clark was stripped of his cloths, keys and wallet.
His body was found by the Metropolitan Police Department on Oct. 13 and his death was ruled a homicide by sharp force injuries and blunt force trauma.
Allen and Felton will be in court again on July 29 and Willson will be in court on Sept. 22.
