A murder defendant waived his right to independently test DNA evidence before DC Superior Court Judge Anthony Epstein on Aug. 23.
Tyriq Williams, 32, is charged with premeditated first-degree murder while armed and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence for his alleged involvement in the fatal shooting of 20-year-old Terry Clark on Jan. 7, on the 1200 block of Half Street, SE.
According to court documents, the incident occurred at the Navy Yard Metro Station where the victim’s body was found under a sheet. Witnesses told police they did not see an altercation before some saw the victim collapse following what they identified as a “pop.”
Surveillance footage showed an individual, identified as Williams, follow the victim out of the station while moving his hand around in his pocket.
Parties are slated to continue May 16, 2025.
