A DC Superior Court Judge Milton Lee gave parties in a homicide case more time to work on a potential plea deal during a July 20 hearing.
Mohamed Goodwin, 34, allegedly shot 25-year-old Devonte Wilson on the 700 block of Morton Street, NW. He is being charged with second-degree murder while armed. On December 3, 2020, Metropolitan Police Department officers responded to a report of a traffic accident. Upon arrival, officers found Wilson inside a vehicle suffering from a gunshot wound to the neck, according to court documents. Wilson succumbed to his injuries the next day.
Goodwin rejected the prosecution’s original plea offer on June 16. However, defense attorney Lee Smith stated that he has filed a counteroffer and is working with the prosecution on how to move forward.
Goodwin was arrested, while on pretrial release.
Judge Lee scheduled another hearing for Aug. 2.
