A defense attorney in a murder case requested July 8 that a preliminary hearing be scheduled to review evidence and determine if the case has probable cause.

Ch’Juan Robinson, 23, is charged with the first-degree murder of Louis Kingsbury, a 35-year-old resident of Southeast, DC. Kingsbury died on April 29 on the 200 block of New York Ave, NW.

DC Superior Court Judge Julie Becker granted this request. The hearing is scheduled to take place on Aug. 23.

Robinson is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on July 29. He is also pending a grand jury.
