Before DC Superior Court Judge Anthony Epstein on Oct. 18, a murder defendant pleaded not guilty to all charges.
Cory Heard, 23, is charged with first-degree premeditated murder while armed, two counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, and carrying a pistol without a license outside of a home or business, for his alleged involvement in a shooting that resulted in the death of 35-year-old Rodney Snead. The shooting occurred on Nov. 20, 2023 on the 4200 block of 4th Street, SE.
Heard’s attorney, Quo Mieko Judkins, alerted the court of his intent to plead not guilty, and asserted all constitutional rights.
Parties are set to reconvene on Dec. 13.
