Mauda'Rico Proctor Pleads Guilty to Dominic Davis' Murder

Amelia Rufer — Mon, 27 Oct 2014 22:33:25 -0400

Mauda'Rico Proctor pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter Friday for the fatal shooting of Dominic Davis on January 14, 2013.

He was originally charged with first-degree premeditated murder while armed.

According to the plea agreement, Proctor will likely spend six years in prison. The maximum sentence for voluntary manslaughter is 30 years and requires a minimum sentence of five years.

Police responded to a shooting on the 500 block of 57th Street Northeast at approximately 10:42 a.m., where they found Davis suffering from gunshot wounds, according to the charging documents. Davis was rushed to Prince George's County Hospital where he was pronounced dead at 11:25 a.m. after life saving efforts failed.

At the time of the incident, Proctor was in a rented black Mazda 6 on 57th Street Northeast with a group of people, according to the proffer of facts. They parked in an alley on the 500 block, at which point Proctor and an accomplice got out of the car and approached Davis, who was sitting in the passenger seat of a parked car nearby.

According to the proffer, Proctor's accomplice ordered Davis out of the car at gunpoint. The accomplice instructed Davis to lie face-down on the ground.

Proctor demanded drugs and money from Davis, and "patted [him] down," charging documents say. The accomplice ordered the driver out of the car and told him to get on his knees and took the driver's wallet, according to the proffer. The driver was kneeling behind Davis.

The proffer states that Proctor went through the passenger side of the car and again demanded drugs and money. When Davis told Proctor he didn't have anything else, Proctor shot him in the back multiple times with a silver handgun. Davis died as a result of the gunshot wounds, according to the proffer. Proctor and his accomplice fled in the black Mazda.

Mauda'Rico Proctor Pleads Innocent in Death of Dominic Davis

Dana Jennings — Mon, 24 Mar 2014 17:03:53 -0400

Mauda’Rico Proctor pleaded innocent Monday to nine criminal charges, including two counts of first-degree murder, in connection with the January 2013 shooting death of Dominic Anthony Davis.

Davis was found in the 500 Block of 57th Street Northeast with multiple gunshot wounds by police. He was transported to Prince George’s County Hospital, where he later died of his injuries.

Charging documents allege that Proctor took a witness’s rental car to 57th Street Northeast in search of Davis to retaliate for another murder.

Proctor and another man, armed with a silver semi-automatic handgun, approached Davis and an unidentified witness in the witness’s car, forcing them out at gunpoint and demanded that they lie down on the ground, according to the prosecution.

The men wore ski masks and “patted down” Davis, taking a cell phone, money, and a wallet, according to the witness. After searching the car, one of the masked men took the handgun from the other and shot Davis multiple times while he was lying on the ground, according to the witness.

Several witnesses identified Proctor as the man who used the rental car and had a gun.

One witness said that Proctor told them that he was going to kill Davis the next time he saw him, and another witness said that Proctor admitted to them that he had shot Davis, saying, “I went all Wayne Perry on his ass.”

One witness told police that they did not identify Proctor because they are afraid of him.

A status hearing is set for April 25 before Judge Robert Morin.

A full copy of Proctor's indictment is added below.

Mauda'Rico Proctor Remains Held in Connection with Dominic Davis Slaying

Penny Ray — Fri, 12 Jul 2013 17:26:40 -0400

Judge Robert Morin found substantial probability Friday that Mauda'Rico Proctor participated in the shooting death of 27-year-old Dominic Anthony Davis. Proctor remains held pending a grand jury indictment.

Davis was found shot multiple times in the 500 block of 57th Street Northeast on January 14; he later died at Prince George’s County Hospital.

Metropolitan Police Detective James Tyler testified Friday that a witness, who was sitting with Davis in a car just prior to the shooting, told police that two black males wearing ski masks, one carrying a silver semi-automatic handgun, approached the car and forced them out onto the ground. One of the suspects “patted down” Davis, searched the vehicle, and then shot Davis several times as he lay on the ground. The witness said that he got up and ran, but looked back and saw the suspects leave in a black four-door vehicle.

Charging documents in the case say police recovered four expended shell casings, two bullets, and multiple bullet fragments from the scene of the shooting.

Police searched Proctor’s home less than a month after the murder and seized his cell phone, which contained several photographs that were taken on the evening of January 14 showing Proctor holding a silver handgun. Police also discovered several other photos of Proctor holding a black semi-automatic handgun with a large capacity magazine, documents say.

Detective Tyler testified Friday that Proctor's phone records show that the day after the murder he sent text messages trying to sell a Smith and Wesson 9mm handgun that holds 16 rounds. A firearms examiner said the shell casings recovered from the crime scene were "consistent" with a Smith and Wesson 9mm, Tyler told the court.

Cellular phone records also place Proctor's phone near the crime scene at the time of the homicide, Tyler said.

The case is scheduled for a felony status conference September 27.

Judge Finds Substantial Probability in Dominic Davis Murder Case

Penny Ray — Tue, 11 Jun 2013 17:55:30 -0400

Judge Lori Parker found substantial probability Tuesday that Mauda'Rico Proctor participated in the January shooting death of 27-year-old Dominic Anthony Davis. Proctor has been held pending a preliminary hearing scheduled for July 12.

Police found Davis in the 500 block of 57th Street Northeast around 11 a.m. January 14, suffering from several gunshot wounds. Less than an hour later, he died at Prince George's County Hospital.

According to arrest documents, one witness told police that Proctor admitted to shooting and killing Davis, and that the murder was in retaliation for the shooting death of a man identified as "twin," which occurred on 37th Street SE. Homicide Watch D.C.'s records show that Brian Andre Proctor was shot and killed at that same location in September 2012; it is unclear whether Mauda'Rico Proctor and Brian Proctor are related.

According to the witness, Proctor said that he “went all Wayne Perry” on a guy, and that the only evidence the police had was a black rental car he borrowed from someone else. Proctor was worried that the guy who rented the vehicle would tell police if he was caught, the witness said.

Another witness told police that prior to Davis' death, Proctor said that he was going to “get” Davis, and during the conversation exposed a black Glock handgun with a 30-round magazine tucked inside his waistband.

Another, who was sitting with Davis in a car just prior to the shooting, told police that two black males wearing ski masks, one carrying a silver semi-automatic handgun, approached the car and forced them out onto the ground. One of the suspects “patted down” Davis, searched the vehicle, and then shot Davis several times as he lay on the ground. The witness said that he got up and ran, but looked back and saw the suspects leave in a black four-door vehicle.

Crime scene technicians recovered four expended shell casings, two bullets, and multiple bullet fragments from the scene of the shooting, charging documents say.

Police searched Proctor's home on February 5, less than a month after the shooting, and seized his cell phone. Arrest documents say the phone contained several photographs that were taken on the evening of January 14 showing Proctor holding a silver handgun. Police also discovered several other photos of Proctor holding a black semi-automatic handgun with a large capacity magazine.

Arrest documents are below.
