Mark Price failed to appear before DC Superior Court Judge Neal Kravitz on March 14, further delaying a homicide case that has been ongoing for more than six years.
Price, 30, is charged with first-degree murder while armed, two counts of assault with intent to kill while armed, assault with a dangerous weapon, threat to injure or kidnap a person, four counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, unlawful possession of a firearm by a convict and first-degree burglary while armed. These charges are connected to the fatal shooting of 47-year-old Andre Hakim Young on July 30, 2018, on the 1500 block of 19th Street, NE.
Price is also awaiting sentencing for a mass shooting on the 5300 block of 53rd Street, NE, on July 16, 2018. The highly publicized crime in the Clay Terrace neighborhood left 10-year-old Makiyah Wilson dead and four other individuals with gunshot wounds.
Price’s attorney, Destiny Fullwood-Singh, informed the court on March 14 that Price refused to get on the bus from DC Jail to court and told her he wasn’t feeling well.
According to court records, DC Superior Court Judge Robert Okun warned Price on May 3, 2024, over his repeated absences from court proceedings.
The next hearing in this case is scheduled for Sept. 12.
