Two juvenile co-defendants accepted a plea of 30 years with five years on probation on March 8 before Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Barry G. Williams.
The teenagers, Donyae Witherspoon, and Terrance Wilbon, both 17, are charged with first-degree murder, carjacking, and conspiracy to commit a carjacking in connection to an incident on April 2, 2021.
During an in-person hearing on Tuesday, Judge Williams listened as the prosecutor presented the same plea to Witherspoon and Wilbon of life suspending all but 30 years with five years of supervised probation for first-degree murder.
Witherspoon and his defense attorneys, Brian Levi and Robert Linthicum, and Wilborn and his defense attorney, Roland Harris, accepted the plea.
According to the Baltimore Sun, around 5 a.m. on the 100 block of N. Conkling Street., an officer patrolling the area saw three suspects attempting to carjack a man. They struck the man with the vehicle and dragged him multiple blocks while attempting to drive away.
The victim, Fabian Mendez, 41, was pronounced dead at the hospital.
