A trial date of Feb. 25, 2025, has been set for two people charged in the slaying of a man in a McDonald’s parking lot in the Midway District in 2023.
Both Armando Manuel Parras, 33, who is charged with murder, and Brittany Marie Wolf, 36, who is charged as an accessory, appeared on Oct. 10 before San Diego Superior Court Judge Rod Shelton.
Parras is charged with stabbing Joshua Goodman, 44, several times, and security camera footage appears to show that Wolf, the alleged driver of a minivan, appeared to be following Goodman on a bicycle as he arrived at the McDonald’s restaurant.
Both Parras and Wolf have pleaded not guilty to all charges. On Oct. 10, Shelton assigned the case to Judge David Berry for trial.
Parras met Goodman a few days before the murder on Aug. 30, 2023, according to Deputy District Attorney Seralyn Fields. Parras asked Wolf to take the driver’s seat after he saw Goodman at the McDonald’s restaurant, and left the minivan with a knife at 11:30 a.m.
Parras then got back into the minivan a few minutes after the stabbing. The accessory charge alleges Wolf had knowledge that Parras committed a felony and harbored or concealed him so he could avoid arrest.
Four San Diego Police detectives testified against Parras in a July 11 preliminary hearing and he was ordered to stand trial for murder. Wolf had a separate preliminary hearing and was ordered held to answer on an accessory charge.
Parras remains in jail without bail while Wolf remains free on a $20,000 bond. Parras was arrested in September of 2023, by West Covina Police on an unrelated matter and they notified San Diego Police of his arrest once they learned of his warrant on a murder charge.
