DC Superior Court Judge Eric Glover accepted a postponement and ordered a forensic mental exam for an alleged armed carjacking defendant on June 10.
Raysean Brown, 28, is charged with armed carjacking and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence for his alleged involvement in an incident which occurred on May 23 at the 5000 block of Georgia Avenue, NW.
According to court documents, an individual, later identified as Brown, got into an altercation with the victim, who was allegedly pushed up against his car by the suspect holding a black handgun to his face. The individual’s car keys fell out of his pocket, causing the suspect to grab his keys and allegedly drive off with the individual’s car.
Brown was later arrested by the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) on May 25.
At the hearing, Brown’s defense attorney, Susan Ellis, requested a continuation of the preliminary hearing and a forensic exam for Brown, which will be used to determine if he’s mentally competent to stand trial.
Parties are set to reconvene on June 14.
