On April 12, a homicide defendant was arraigned and in response entered a not guilty plea for a five-count indictment before DC Superior Court Judge Robert Okun.

Jaime Macedo, 22, is charged with first-degree murder while armed for his involvement in the fatal shooting of Maxwell Emerson, 25, on July 5, 2023, on the 600 block of Alumni Lane, NE.

Macedo was indicted on five charges, including one count of robbery while armed, two counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, one count of felony murder while armed, and one count of unlawful possession of a firearm with a prior conviction.

Due to the defense having limited discovery of evidence, a status hearing is set for May 29.
