A defendant had his probation revoked by DC Superior Court Judge Michael Ryan on April 3.
Kaevon Sutton, 25, was found guilty by a jury on March 23, 2023, of carrying a pistol without a license outside a home or business for his alleged involvement in the fatal shooting of Aujee Tyler, 22, on March 19, 2018 on the 3500 block of Stanton Road, SE. Sutton was acquitted of first-degree murder and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence.
During the hearing, the prosecutor informed Judge Ryan that Sutton is being held for another matter; he pleaded guilty to two counts of kidnapping on March 6. According to the prosecutor, he is scheduled to be sentenced in September, between 14-to-17-and-a-half years of imprisonment.
The prosecutor asked Judge Ryan to revoke Sutton’s probation and sentence him to time served in the present case.
Terrence Austin, Sutton’s attorney, requested Judge Ryan terminate Sutton’s probation. Austin said Sutton is facing a significant sentence for the other matter and there is no point in sentencing him to time served.
Judge Ryan agreed with the prosecutor, revoked Sutton’s probation in this case, and re-sentenced him only to the time he already served. Sutton will remain held in the kidnapping case pending sentencing.
No further dates have been set.
