A judge convicted an Ogden man of first-degree murder and attempted murder after the man entered a plea deal Wednesday in Riley County District Court.
Cordarius Devonte Maurice Gowdy, 24, pleaded guilty to first-degree murder, two counts of attempted first-degree murder and criminal discharge of a firearm that stemmed from an early morning shooting in October 2023 that killed one man and injured two others.
In return for Gowdy’s plea, the prosecution dropped his remaining charges and dismissed a separate case charging him with trafficking a weapon into jail, aggravated assault with the weapon, two counts of criminal threat and criminal use of weapons. They also agreed to drop charges they planned to pursue in a third case.
