PANAMA CITY — A Panama City man has pleaded to being an accessory to murder and agreed to testify against two other suspects in the July shooting death of Tavish Greene.
Dontavis Terrell Thomas, 22, pleaded no contest Wednesday to being an accessory after the fact to the robbery and subsequent slaying of 24-year-old Greene. He was sentenced to five years probation while the second-degree murder charges against Darryl Mack, 21, and Tyricka Shavon Woullard, 20, proceed in the court. One condition of his probation is that he testify truthfully in the cases against the co-defendants, according to court documents.
Mack and Woullard have been charged of second-degree murder and principal to second-degree murder, respectively. The charges stemmed from an alleged scheme to rob Greene of drugs and money, which escalated into a shooting and Greene’s death.
Police discovered Greene’s body days later with multiple gunshot wounds in the trunk of his 2004 Chevy Malibu behind an abandoned home at 526 E. Eighth Court.
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.
Thomas remained in Bay County where he was arrested for conspiring in Greene’s death and booked into jail. He could receive up to 20 years in prison if the conditions of his five-year probation are violated.
