A fatal shooting defendant pleaded not guilty to all charges in front of DC Superior Court Judge Michael Ryan on June 5.
Korin Agnew, 37, is charged with second-degree murder while armed, possession of a firearm during crime of violence, and carrying a pistol without license outside a home or business. All of these charges face an aggravating factor of allegedly being committed while Agnew was on release for a prior offense. Court records state Agnew was on release for alleged narcotics and weapons offenses at the time of the homicide.
The charges stem from Agnew’s alleged involvement in the fatal shooting of 20-year old Korey Glasker on Sept. 11, 2024 on the 3700 block Alabama Avenue, SE. Glasker sustained one gunshot wound to his back and blunt force trauma injuries to his skull.
According to court documents, Glasker reportedly sold marijuana for Agnew.
At the hearing, the court formally arraigned Agnew reading the charges against him. His attorney, Sara Kopecki, entered into a plea of not guilty on his behalf, asserted his rights to a speedy trial, and requested all evidence in the case.
Parties set the trial for May 17, 2027. The proceedings are expected to last five days.
Parties are set to reconvene on Sept. 4. Meanwhile, the defendant is being held without bond.
