A defense attorney requested that the prosecution hand over evidence in a murder case.

Raymond Davis is charged with second-degree murder for allegedly shooting 39-year-old Henry Hackett on the 2700 block of Langston Place, SE on June 3.

The prosecution agreed to provide defense attorney Matthew Davies with the evidence.

Davis, 46, was found at the scene inside a vehicle, suffering from gunshot wounds to the left hip and leg. The defendant said he was shot in front of his home on the 2300 block of Altamont Place, SE. Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officers found a handgun in the defendant’s car and noted that he was acting strange.

DC Superior Court Judge John Campbell scheduled Davis’ next hearing for Sept. 21.
