The trial of a New York City man accused of fatally shooting another New Yorker in Carrollton two years ago has again been postponed, this time to late May.<\/p>\n
Travis Lewis Wilson, 24, was originally set for a four-day trial starting June 23. It was postponed to Dec. 9 after his attorney\u2019s request for a court-appointed firearms expert was approved. According to Isle of Wight County Commonwealth\u2019s Attorney Georgette Phillips, who is prosecuting the case, the trial was moved again to May 26-29 after one of the defense witnesses was unavailable during the second week of December.<\/p>\n
Isle of Wight County sheriff\u2019s deputies allege Wilson, of New York\u2019s Brooklyn borough, shot and killed Queens resident Marvin Guilaume-Sam, 30, during a fatal 2023 encounter in the 12000 block of Smiths Neck Road near the Jones Creek mobile home park and boat ramp.<\/p>\n
Wilson evaded law enforcement for nearly four months prior to his Feb. 29, 2024, arrest. He pleaded not guilty at his Jan. 15 arraignment to charges of second-degree murder, malicious wounding, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and felony murder. The fifth charge refers to a killing that occurs during the commission of another felony.<\/p>\n
Wilson faces five to 40 years in prison if convicted of second-degree murder alone, and another five to 40 years if convicted of the felony murder charge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The trial of a New York City man accused of fatally shooting another New Yorker in Carrollton two…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":78575,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[39069,9,24,63,122,124,123,13368],"class_list":["post-78574","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-queens","tag-carrollton","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-queens","tag-queens-headlines","tag-queens-news","tag-spotlight"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78574","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=78574"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78574\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/78575"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=78574"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=78574"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=78574"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
