Re: Wilmington Man Pleads to 2016 Homicide
A former Hoggard High School student will spend up to eight years in prison for killing a man on North 13th Street in 2016. Zibree BrawleyWashington, age 20, pleaded guilty to Voluntary Manslaughter in the shooting death of Johnny Lee Johnson on Monday. Jury selection was to begin in the case in the afternoon.
On September 20, 2016, Johnson was being dropped off at his father’s residence at 105 N. 13th Street, near New Hanover High School. The woman who gave him the ride told investigators that Johnson knew BrawleyWashington and had seen the man ride up on a bike prior to her leaving that evening. When she left, Johnson was speaking with BrawleyWashington near the home. Witnesses who lived and worked on the street reported hearing a gunshot and seeing a black male fleeing on a bike shortly after the time that the woman left the area. Johnson’s father found his body on the front porch minutes later. He had suffered one gunshot wound to the back of the head.
Surveillance cameras at New Hanover High School recorded images that prosecutors would have argued showed BrawleyWashington riding up and down the street before and after the murder. While not admissible in court, an anonymous tipster provided information that BrawleyWashington had committed the murder and that a local female gang leader, Angelina Garcia, had put him up to it. The tip also led investigators to the location of the bike that was believed to have been ridden by BrawleyWashington. Garcia is now serving a 20 year sentence in a Georgia prison for arranging an attempted gangrelated murder outside of Atlanta.
