On Nov. 16, 2022, jurors unanimously delivered their verdict for a triple homicide that took place in 2019.
Rakeem Willis, 31, was found guilty of three counts of first-degree premeditated murder while armed and one count of fleeing a law enforcement officer.
He was initially charged with first-degree murder while armed in connection to the shootings of 26-year-old Javon Abney, 26-year-old Sean Shuler, and 24-year-old Tyrik Hagood, on the 1500 block of Fort Davis Place SE on Jan. 26, 2019.
Willis’ co-defendant, 33-year-old, Jonathan Winston, was acquitted due to a lack of sufficient evidence to satisfy allegations on Nov. 8, 2022.
A sentencing is scheduled for Feb. 10.
