DC Superior Court Judge Michael O’Keefe agreed on March 16 that defense attorneys representing three murder suspects should have more time to prepare their case.
Daivion Williams, 23, is charged with murder while armed, conspiracy, attempt to commit robbery, while armed, possession of a firearm while committing a crime of violence, murder while armed with aggravated circumstances, possession of a firearm during a crime of violence and carrying a pistol without a license.
Dijon Williams, 24, faces charges of murder while armed, an attempt to commit robbery while armed, possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, murder with aggravated circumstances and carrying a pistol without a license.
Steven Washington, 23, the other suspect in the case, is accused of conspiracy, attempted robbery while armed, possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, murder with aggravated circumstances, possession of a firearm during a crime of violence and carrying a pistol without a license.
All three defendant’s are being charged in the murder of 30-year-old Nurudeen Thomas on the 1400 block of 14th Street NW on July 21, 2020.
Veronice Holt, defense attorney for Steven Washington, said she needs additional pre-trial time to review prosecution reports including GPS and phone records.
Judge O’Keefe granted the request and set Sept. 15 for an evidentiary hearing in the case. A trial date was set for April 22, 2024.
