A Whitefield man was killed in a motorcycle accident in Augusta early Friday, the Augusta Police Department said.
Police found Bryn Goodman, 33, lying unresponsive on the sidewalk near a Harley-Davidson motorcycle in the area of 78 South Belfast Ave. about 12:50 a.m. Friday. Rescue personnel pronounced Goodman dead at the scene.
Lt. Chris Read of the Augusta Police Department said an initial investigation revealed that Goodman was not wearing a helmet. Read said the Maine State Police are reconstructing the accident, though Read said it appears that Goodman ran off the road.
Goodman pleaded guilty in 1997, when he was 14, to fatally shooting his 13-year-old sister Ciji in the head. He admitted before sentencing that he and his sister had gotten into an argument after he woke her up for school one morning. Goodman said he kicked open the door of the family’s gun cabinet in their mobile home and removed a 12-gauge shotgun.
He was sentenced to the Maine Youth Center until he turned 21, the maximum sentence allowed under juvenile law.
