DC Super Courts Judge Michael Ryan issued a bench warrant for a no-show defendant on July 2.
Kaevon Sutton, 24, was originally charged with the fatal shooting of 22-year-old Aujee Tyler on March 19, 2018 on the 3500 block of Stanton Road, SE. On March 23, 2023, Sutton was acquitted by a jury of first-degree murder while armed and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence. However, Sutton was convicted of carrying a pistol without a license outside a home or business.
Judge Ryan sentenced Sutton on Aug. 9, 2023 to four-years-and-11 months with three years of supervised release.
Sutton’s probation officer reported him as non-compliant because he lost contact on June 13. After failing to appear at the hearing, Judge Ryan issued a bench warrant for the defendant.
Parties will reconvene when Sutton is taken into custody.
