Tyree Irving, a 29-year-old resident of Washington, D.C., has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder while armed in connection with the fatal shooting of Davane Williams. The plea was entered on February 2, 2026, in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia. Sentencing is set for June 12, 2026, before Judge Neal Kravitz.
According to court documents and statements made during the proceedings, on January 15, 2019, Irving approached a group standing outside the Tyler House on North Capitol Street NW. He confronted Mr. Williams and began yelling at him. After less than ten seconds, Irving drew a .40 caliber pistol from his hoodie and fired five shots at Mr. Williams, striking him with all five rounds. The bystanders fled as Mr. Williams fell to the ground. Irving then concealed the weapon and left the scene.
Irving was arrested on February 27, 2019, and has remained in custody since that time.
U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro announced the guilty plea alongside Interim Chief Jeffery W. Carroll of the Metropolitan Police Department.
"This case was investigated by the Metropolitan Police Department and is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Joshua Hall and Wes Faulkner."
