This case was acquitted on Nov. 15, 2023.
On March 3, defense attorneys William Alley and Jason Tulley represented a defendant before D.C. Superior Court Judge Anthony Epstein.
Michael Austin’s present was waived since he is held for another offense in the state of Pennsylvania.
Austin, 28, is charged with second-degree murder in connection to the alleged shooting of 26-year-old Kayvon Kinney. The shooting happened on the 1800 block of Gainesville Street, SE on May 24, 2020.
Defense attorneys stated that Austin is incarcerated in Pennsylvania and should be released to D.C. by the end of April. They asked the judge to schedule a hearing date in May.
Austin has another offense in the State of New Jersey, however, according to the defense attorney, and the prosecution D.C takes presence
The next hearing was scheduled for May 14.
