DC Superior Court Judge Jason Park set a trial date for a homicide defendant, a separate trial from his brother and co-defendant, on April 23.
Jayden Bracey, 24, is charged with first-degree premeditated murder while armed, two counts of assault with attempt to kill while armed, three counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, and unlawful possession of a firearm with a prior conviction for his alleged involvement in the death of Special Police Officer, 42-year-old Angela Washington. The incident occurred on the 3300 block of 10th Place, SE on Sept. 21, 2021. Washington died from one gunshot wound to her head.
His brother Jadohn Bracey, 26, is also charged in the case. Judge Park granted severance for the brothers to have separate trials on Feb. 17.
Prosecutors said surveillance footage captured a man matching Jadohn’s description in a black mask and distinctive attire allegedly shooting Washington. His associate, whom prosecutors argue is Jayden, was also wearing a mask but wore no recognizable clothing.
Judge Park scheduled Jayden’s trial to begin on Sept. 27, 2027. Jadohn’s trial is scheduled to begin on April 12, 2027.
Parties for Jayden are scheduled to reconvene on Oct. 1.
