The prosecution said May 30 they would continue investigating a shooting death that took place in the parking lot of the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center near the 6900 block of Georgia Avenue, NW.
Koonce Wright allegedly shot Brian Gibson three times on Dec. 8, 2017. Wright is charged with second-degree murder while armed.
Gibson and Wright worked for G&M Limo Service. On the day of the shooting, the men were driving construction workers to and from a construction site on Military Road, NW.
Wright, 59, said the two were involved in a verbal confrontation when Gibson, 45, became physically violent and punched him, knocking out several teeth.Wright said he then pulled a gun on Gibson.
According to court documents, Wright shot at Gibson as he began to run. Apparently, Wright chased Gibson until he fell, at which point Wright shot him again.
Wright’s defense attorney, Madalyn Harvey, requested time to file a motion to reconsider bond due to the defendant’s medical condition. The condition was not specified.
A felony status conference is scheduled on June 20.
