The prosecution extended a plea offer to Dominique Williams, the third man charged in the murder of Marcellus Green.

The plea offer will stay on the table for four weeks, while Williams is held without bail.

Stephen Pugh and Maricco Knight, both 22, have been charged with first-degree murder while armed. The US attorney’s office declined to file charges against Knight in this case and he has been released. Pugh has pled guilty and will be in court again on Sept. 9 for a felony status hearing.

Green, 35, was killed in the 3200 block of 28th St., SE on Sept. 19, 2015. Metropolitan Police heard the sounds of gunshots in the area and found Green suffering from a gunshot wound. He was taken to a nearby hospital where he later died.
