A jury in DC Superior Court Judge Todd Edelman’s courtroom convicted a homicide defendant of all charges on Jan. 31, following a four day trial.
Ethan Cunningham, 22, was charged with two counts of felony murder while armed, assault with intent to kill while armed, first-degree burglary while armed, five counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, carrying a pistol without a license outside the home, and attempted robbery while armed, for his involvement in the fatal shooting of James Curtis, 38, on the 2600 block of Stanton Road, SE, on May 10, 2022.
Throughout the trial, the prosecution called Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officers and eyewitnesses. The prosecution also pieced together other evidence including video footage, a fight description and shots fired on a basement landing.
The weight of the evidence led the jury to convict Cunningham.
Parties are slated to reconvene on March 28 for sentencing of the defendant.
