The 15-year-old pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the 2022 shooting that left Devin Brewer dead and another man injured.
Daneen Wright, with a photo of her son, Devin Brewer, who was fatally shot in a drive-by last year. A 15-year-old District youth pleaded guilty Friday to second-degree murder in a 2022 shooting that killed a paralyzed man in a wheelchair and left a second man injured.
The arrest brought to a close months of debate between D.C. police and local prosecutors in the District’s Office of the Attorney General regarding the strength of the evidence against the teen and what police saw as a delay in prosecutors signing off on murder charges.Police also suspected the teen in a second fatal shooting of 39-year-old Timothy Stewart, who was also shot in a drive-by. That slaying occurred four days after Brewer’s. But local prosecutors — over the urging of D.C.
The teen was initially charged with first-degree murder. At a July hearing, prosecutors played a cellphone video they said was taken by the teen. Narrating the video as it played in court, a D.C. homicide detective said it showed the youth pointing a gun out of the window of a stolen Toyota Highlander just before shooting.
