Prosecution is ‘On Track’ to Indict Teen for Homicide

The prosecution in a murder case notified the  court April 18 that they are “on track” to secure a grand jury indictment, charging a 19-year-old with a fatal shooting.

Kewon Hunter is charged with second-degree murder while armed for the fatal shooting of 21-year-old Dion Boyd on the 1400 block of Maryland Avenue, NE on July 30, 2018.

The prosecution said they expect to have the indictment before the deadline in June.

D.C. Witness previously reported that Magistrate Judge Heide Herrmann found probable cause and ordered Hunter to be held without bail. Hunter also has a charge for burglary while armed from an unrelated case in 2018, according to DC Courts. 

In lieu of the pending indictment, Hunter’s felony status conference was continued to June 21.
