DURHAM, N.C. — A Creedmoor man pleaded guilty Wednesday to being an accessory in a Durham woman's murder four years ago.
Dominique Xavier Lamberth, 27, was sentenced to 93 to 124 months in prison for being an accessory after the fact of first-degree murder in the Feb. 26, 2014, death of 25-year-old Kourtney Krista Dawson.
Police said Lamberth and his brother, Arsenio Jarmal Lamberth, robbed a man of $20 at gunpoint and then fired shots at the man's vehicle as he drove away. One of the shots struck and killed Dawson as she was walking on Holloway Street, police said.
Charges against Arsenio Lamberth are still pending.
Dominique Lamberth was initially charged with murder, robbery with a dangerous weapon, two counts of discharging a firearm into an occupied vehicle, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill. Those charges were dropped as part of a plea deal. He was given credit for the more than four years he had already served in jail.
