Defendant Shot Man He Did Not Know Near Entrance of Metro Station

Tyriq Williams, 31, of the District of Columbia, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder for the 2023
shooting murder of Terry Clark.
Superior Court Judge Todd E. Edelman accepted the factual basis for the plea and scheduled sentencing for
July 9, 2025. The guilty plea, which is contingent upon the Court’s approval at sentencing, called for an

employment.

Williams told a friend that he needed a ride, and his friend picked the defendant up and drove him to the bus
stop, where Williams got back on the same bus that he previously rode. The shooting was not captured on
video, but law enforcement located the defendant on other video surveillance, including Washington Metro

Shorter pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Sparkle L. Sooknanan to distribution of marijuana and synthetic cannabinoids and to possessing firearms in furtherance of a drug trafficking offense. He faces a mandatory minimum sentence of five years in prison. Judge Sooknanan set the sentencing hearing for August 28, 2025.

Shorter further admitted to possessing a Glock 19 semi-automatic pistol loaded with 19 rounds of 9mm ammunition, an Aero Precision 5.56mm AR-Pistol loaded with 36 rounds, a Del Ton 5.56mm AR-Pistol loaded with 15 rounds, and a “double drum” 100-round capacity magazine containing 94 rounds of 5.56mm ammunition. All were recovered from inside the same SUV.

Shorter also admitted to possessing with intent to distribute 30 grams of synthetic cannabinoids, 28 grams of suspected fentanyl, and 18 grams of suspected “boot” in his apartment which was searched by MPD officers after his arrest.  In addition, he admitted to possessing a Ruger 5.7x28mm handgun loaded with 21 rounds of ammunition, an FNH 5.7x28mm semi-automatic handgun loaded with 20 rounds, two disassembled AR-15 style rifles chambered for 5.56mm ammunition, three rifle magazines loaded with a total of 57 rounds of 5.56mm ammunition, and a handgun magazine loaded with 28 rounds of 9mm ammunition.

Shorter is a previously convicted felon and has two prior convictions for assaulting police officers.
