On Jan. 31, a homicide defendant pleaded not guilty during his arraignment before DC Superior Court Judge Marisa Demeo.
Ravon Slye, 31, is charged with second-degree murder while armed for allegedly stabbing his girlfriend, 30-year-old Andrea Bond, on March 7, 2023, on the 1100 Block of D Street, NE.
According to court documents, the defendant had a history of domestic violence and was on probation at the time of the incident. Moreover, the victim’s family had reportedly expressed apprehension about Slye’s being around Bond.
Kevin Mosley, Slye’s defense attorney, informed the court that he pleaded not guilty to the charge of second-degree murder while armed, and asserted his constitutional rights, including a speedy trial.
While awaiting trial, Slye will remain at the D.C. Jail.
A status hearing to discuss a trial date has been scheduled for February 14.
