A homicide defendant pleaded guilty to second-degree murder while armed before DC Superior Court Judge Marisa Demeo on Dec. 4.
Matthew Walker, 26, is charged with second-degree murder while armed for his involvement in the fatal stabbing of 23-year-old Jamal Greenlee in the 100 block of Michigan Avenue, NE on April 29, 2019. According to court documents, Greenlee was left paralyzed after the stabbing and succumbed to his injuries 18 months later on Nov. 4, 2020.
In October, Walker was sentenced to 50 years of incarceration for the 2019 murder of 32-year-old David Remen and the non-fatal shooting of another victim in the 1700 block of Hamlin Street, NE on Feb. 14, 2019.
Stephen LoGerfo, Walker’s attorney, alerted the court of Walker’s intention to plead guilty.
The deal required Walker to plead guilty to second-degree murder while armed. In exchange, the prosecution agreed to resolve Walker’s four other pending felony cases and ask the court for a 14-to-18 year range at sentencing.
The maximum sentence that Walker can receive is life in prison.
Judge Demeo accepted the plea offer and factual proffer offered by the prosecution.
Parties are slated to reconvene on Jan. 10.
