PANAMA CITY — Two suspects pleaded not guilty Tuesday to shooting Tavish Greene multiple times and concealing his body in a car trunk before fleeing the state.
Darryl Mack, 22, and Tyricka Woullard, 20, pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder charges in the slaying of 24-year-old Greene. The two fled the state to Covington, Ga., as police discovered Greene’s body in the trunk of a car behind an abandoned East Eighth Court home on July 24. Police have alleged Greene’s death came at the end of a botched robbery, involving three conspiring parties.
The third suspect who remained behind in Bay County, 22-year-old Dontavis Thomas, has been charged with accessory after fact to homicide but has not filed a plea, according to court records.
Police reports said the three suspects lured Greene to Woullard’s residence at 3710 W. 21st St., where they planned to rob him the morning of July 19. Thomas and Mack allegedly used phone calls and text messages to draw Greene into a trap through Woullard, his ex-girlfriend. The three hid inside, waiting to ambush Greene for money and illegal narcotics; Woullard and Mack then fled to Georgia the day after, police reported.
Greene was discovered in the trunk of his Chevy Malibu five days after the attempted robbery. He was shot multiple times, medical examiners said.
Mack, Woullard and Thomas already had been arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit armed robbery for the alleged scheme. Mack also was charged with possession of a firearm by a felon.
New charges were brought against Mack and Woullard last Thursday of second-degree murder and principal to second-degree murder, respectively. A day before Thomas was charged as an accessory.
The suspects also heard reopened cases for probation violations Tuesday. Woullard is accused of violating her probation from a May 2013 scheme to defraud a bank, charges to which she pleaded no contest. And Thomas allegedly violated his probation from a November 2009 burglary where he stole firearms, in which he also pleaded no contest.
