DC Superior Court Judge Danya Dayson scheduled a felony status conference for two defendants on Aug. 31. 

Tyrik Williams, 23, and Muhammad Byrd, 21, are charged with unlawful possession of a firearm. Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officers arrested them on May 21 on the 600 block of Morton Street, NW after they filmed themselves live on Instagram holding pistols inside their vehicle. 

The two were prohibited from possessing any firearms due to prior criminal convictions.
