DC Superior Court Judge Michael Ryan acknowledged a teenage homicide defendant’s perfect compliance with his release conditions in a hearing on April 7.
Leroy Dixon, 17, is charged with second-degree murder while armed for his alleged involvement in the fatal shooting of 16-year-old Dominique Dingle on May 20, 2025 on the 1000 block of Third Place, SE.
Dixon is charged under Title 16, which allows prosecutors to try juveniles as adults for certain serious offenses.
According to Judge Ryan, a compliance report was filed on April 6 from the Pretrial Services Agency (PSA) which stated Dixon was in perfect compliance with his home confinement and GPS monitoring.
Judge Ryan acknowledged his “good behavior.”
Dixon’s attorney, Terrence Austin, told Judge Ryan that prosecutors had not yet indicted for this case, and the deadline would be on May 12.
Prosecutors suggested that they schedule an arraignment hearing for May 12, and “go from there.”
Parties are slated to reconvene on May 12.
