Argued March 15, 2011

Before BLACKBURNE-RIGSBY, Associate Judge, KRAMER,*fn1 Associate Judge, Retired, and FARRELL, Senior Judge.

A jury found appellant guilty of the first-degree premeditated murder by shooting of Kalfani Hogg, conspiracy to assault Hogg and Kwame Walcott with a dangerous weapon, assault on Walcott with a dangerous weapon, and related weapons offenses. Evidence fairly allowed the jury to find that appellant enlisted Melba Norris and Shacona Gooding to lure Hogg to the Lincoln Heights area where appellant, armed with a sawed-off shotgun, lay in wait intending to avenge what he believed had been Hogg’s rape of Norris. When Hogg arrived accompanied by Walcott, appellant forced them into the hallway of a building, told both to “lay down,” and, after accusing Hogg of the rape, shot him in the head and neck, causing his death.
