ST. PAUL, Minn. - A woman who fired into a group of people outside a St. Paul house and killed a man has pleaded guilty to a felony charge in an agreement with prosecutors.
Denise White, of River Falls, Wisconsin, entered the plea to unintentional second-degree murder while committing a felony in the death of Dawahn Littles. Terms of a plea deal she reached with the state call for a charge of intentional second-degree murder previously facing White to be dropped.
Authorities say the 38-year-old victim was hosting an after-bar gathering and was trying to break up a fight outside his house last October when he was struck by gunfire. He died later at a St. Paul hospital. White fled the scene.
The St. Paul Pioneer Press reports that the 28-year-old White's attorney, Marcus Almon, said Tuesday his client never meant to hurt Littles.
