During a felony status conference May 31, counsel scheduled the defendant’s next felony status conference on Aug. 2.
Maurice White, 45, is charged with first-degree murder while armed and assault with intent to kill for his alleged role in the shooting of 45-year-old Timothy Pretlow and another unnamed individual. The shooting occurred on Dec. 1, 2016, on the 1800 block of Capitol Avenue, NE.
During the next hearing, a decision is expected to be made on the defense’s request for full discovery and the defendant’s release.
The prosecutor said the case is still being investigated, and she was also working toward securing an indictment.
According to court documents, officers of the Metropolitan Police Department found Pretlow unconscious and suffering from multiple gunshot wounds inside a van. A second victim was also found in the van but was conscious. The second victim survived, but Pretlow was pronounced dead at a local hospital a few hours later.
