A homicide defendant accepted a plea deal to a lesser charge before DC Superior Court Judge Maribeth Raffinan on Aug. 28.
Terrance Prue, 22, was originally charged with first-degree murder while armed, assault with a dangerous weapon, three counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, and carrying a pistol without a license for his involvement in the killing of 39-year-old Bruce Wayne Gilmore. The incident occurred on the 300 block of 22nd Street, SE on June 5, 2019. Another individual sustained injuries during the incident, but survived.
During the hearing, James King, Prue’s defense attorney, alerted Judge Raffinan of his intent to accept a deal extended by prosecutors. The agreement required Prue to plead guilty to voluntary manslaughter while armed, in exchange for a dismissal of all other charges.
Through the deal, parties agreed to a sentencing range of eight-to-12 years of incarceration.
Prue’s sentencing is scheduled for Nov. 15.
