During a status hearing on April 19, the prosecution said a murder defendant could face additional charges after incriminating letters, allegedly written by the defendant, were discovered.
Quincy Green, who is also known as Wayne Wright, is charged with second-degree murder while armed for allegedly shooting 44-year-old Dana Hamilton on the 800 block of Southern Avenue, SE in 2016.
The prosecution said they found six letters that would support charging Green, 37, with obstruction of justice. In one of the letters, Green threatens to kill a witness.
The prosecution said a grand jury investigation is still ongoing. However, the investigation is expected to end in a month.
The defense requested that the prosecution turn over all of the letters. They also said they were seeking to introduce a handwriting expert.
D.C. Witness previously reported that, at the time, of the murder, Green was being monitored by a GPS tracking device. The GPS, however, was attached to his prosthetic leg. Detectives said Green took off the prosthetic leg and used a spare prosthetic to avoid being monitored.
Green is scheduled for a status hearing on Aug. 23.
