A homicide defendant has been offered a plea deal and will begin to discuss it with his attorneys.

Gregory Washington is charged with first-degree murder while armed, possession of a firearm during a crime of violence and first-degree burglary while armed. The 32-year-old defendant is accused of killing 32-year-old Maryland man Alie Labay on Oct. 24, 2019, on the 900 block of 21st Street, NE.  

The prosecution said that they extended a plea offer that will expire by his next hearing by March 3. The defense is expected to inform the court of their decision during the next scheduled hearing for this case on March 7.
