Prosecutors alerted DC Superior Court Judge Rainey Brandt that they plan to bring more serious charges against a defendant on Sept. 12.
Damon Bradford, 28, was originally indicted with assault with intent to kill while armed, carrying a pistol without a license outside of a home or business, aggravated assault while armed, and two counts of firearm possession during a crime of violence for his alleged involvement in a shooting at the 1200 block of North Capitol Street, NW, on Oct. 2, 2024.
During the hearing, the court was notified that the victim, identified as 36-year-old Kevin Dextraze, died over the weekend from gunshot wound complications.
Because of the enhanced charges the prosecution will be filing a superseding indictment.
Parties are slated to reconvene Jan. 9.
