A D.C. man pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter Monday in the 2020 death of an 11-year-old boy who was hit by a stray bullet moments after leaving an anti-violence cookout in Southeast Washington.

       The defendant, Carlos General, 21, was among four alleged gang members arrested in the Fourth of July shooting. The three others pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter in D.C. Superior Court last week.

       The victim, Davon McNeal, a sixth-grader, was leaving a family-oriented anti-violence barbecue in the 1400 block of Cedar Street SE about 9:30 p.m. when feuding gang members opened fire nearby, authorities said. A stray bullet hit Davon in the head.

       As part of plea agreements with prosecutors, defendants Christian Wingfield, 24, Daryle Bond, 20, and Marcel Gordon, 26, are expected to receive prison terms in the range of 7？ to 10 years, according to court documents. The U.S. attorney’s office in the District said General’s plea deal calls for prison time in the 13-to-16-year range.

       The four are scheduled to be sentenced June 3.
