Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido announces that Damarion Winston Goler, 33 of Sterling Heights, Michigan was convicted by a jury of second-degree murder for allegedly stabbing his pregnant girlfriend in March of 2024, resulting in her death and that of her unborn child.
On Friday, October 16, following a two-week jury trial before Macomb County Circuit Court Judge Matthew P. Sabaugh, a Macomb County jury found Goler guilty of the following
offenses:
• Homicide -Second Degree, a felony punishable by life or any term of years

Assistant Prosecuting Attorneys Elizabeth Abbo and Carrie Seward prosecuted the case on behalf of the People.
“I hope this conviction brings some measure of closure to the victims’ family. The defendant has been held accountable for his actions, but no verdict can undo the tragic loss or erase the pain this family has endured,” said Lucido.
