A St. Paul man has been ordered to spend more than 28 years in prison for a deadly shooting that rocked the city's Frogtown neighborhood last year. Kireice Plez-Sachet Williams pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and received a 346-month sentence, with credit for 255 days already served. The victim, 26-year-old Levon T. Washington, was found with a gunshot wound to his neck on the 300 block of Edmund Avenue on Aug. 16, 2025.
According to KSTP, the judge handed down the 346-month term after Williams admitted to one count of second-degree murder. Court filings and the outlet's report say investigators recovered a spent 9mm casing near the scene and relied on phone-location data that put Williams' phone at the home at the time of the shooting. The same phone then called his wife and later showed movement to a relative's residence. KSTP also reports that witnesses described the firearm as having a blue laser attachment, and a bystander told investigators that Williams had used cocaine inside the gathering.
What Investigators Say
Court documents reviewed by Bring Me The News and police statements say several people at the gathering identified Williams as the shooter. One witness told officers that the men argued about "which side they were on" shortly before shots were fired, according to the complaint, and Washington was later pronounced dead at a hospital. Authorities say Williams left the home before officers arrived and was arrested months later as the case moved through Ramsey County court.
Defendant's Record And Pending Cases
State records show Williams has prior felony convictions for first-degree aggravated robbery, threats of violence, and being a felon in possession of a firearm. Minnesota Department of Corrections listings tie him to Ramsey County case number 62-CR-25-7251. The Minnesota Department of Corrections indicates he was incarcerated earlier this year and was being held for sentencing. Court filings also show that at the time of the homicide he was facing separate pending cases, including allegations tied to a conspiracy to commit aggravated robbery and a drive-by shooting.
The new sentence falls in line with other recent plea agreements in the Twin Cities. Prosecutors in a high-profile Minneapolis murder case reached an agreement earlier this year that resulted in roughly a 28-year term, as reported by FOX 9. With sentencing now complete, Williams will serve his term in state prison, and court records do not indicate an immediate appeal. Family members of victims and community leaders in Frogtown declined public comment to media outlets covering the case, according to local reports.
