DC Superior Court Judge Michael Ryan encouraged a murder defendant who’s released on home confinement to “keep up the good work” on March 13.
Martell West, 23, is charged with second-degree murder while armed for his alleged involvement in the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Treyvon Wilson at the 2300 block of Good Hope Court, SE on Nov. 19, 2023. Wilson sustained a gunshot to his torso.
Judge Ryan found probable cause for the charge against West on Feb. 26 and released West to home confinement with the exception of verified court obligations.
At the hearing, Judge Ryan said that the Pretrial Services Agency (PSA) alerted the court that West has been in total compliance with his conditions. “Sounds like West is doing everything I have asked him to do,” Judge Ryan said.
Judge Ryan encouraged West, “good job on your conditions of release. Keep up the good work.”
Parties are slated to reconvene on June 18.
