MUSKEGON HEIGHTS, Mich — The man convicted of killing a Muskegon Heights school board member in 2022 was scheduled to earn his sentence on Thursday, but the judge agreed to push it back to next month.
Glenn Davis, 62, murdered 53-year-old Julius Muhammad in his home on Dec. 19, 2022. A jury convicted him of first-degree murder.
Davis was also found guilty of felon in possession of a firearm and two counts of felony firearm.
He appeared in court Thursday via Zoom, but told the judge he wanted to hear his sentence in person.
The judge set a new sentencing hearing for April 18.
Three witnesses of the shooting testified in court during Davis' trial, including the man who drove Davis to Muhammad's home the night of the shooting.
61-year-old Dimitrus Moffett provided damning testimony of the night.
He told the court that once Davis got back into the car after shooting Muhammad, Davis told him, "We don't have to worry about him anymore."
It was stated by the defense that Moffett had previously withheld details from police. But now testifying against Davis, he said Davis initially asked him to go on a ride. Later, he instructed Moffett to pick up a face mask from a liquor store and drop him off at Muhammad's home.
Moffett testified that after the shooting, Davis got into the car and said something to the effect of, "Come on, let's go. We don't have to worry about him anymore." The prosecution asked him what Davis meant.
"That it's done, and we don't have to worry about him anymore. And (Davis) wanted me to take the fall for it," Moffett said.
