During a motions hearing July 9, a DC Superior Court judge granted the prosecution’s request to extend a defendant’s indictment deadline by 20 days.
Kaevon Sutton is charged with first-degree murder while armed for allegedly shooting 22-year-old Aujee Tyler on the 3500 block of Stanton Rd., SE on March 19, 2018.
The indictment deadline was extended until Aug. 3.
According to court documents, the shooting resulted from an argument over stolen cars. Apparently, Sutton, 18, and his friends routinely stole cars.
Sutton is currently being held at the Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services (DYRS). Defense counsel’s motion to reconsider Sutton’s detention was denied.
A felony status conference is scheduled on Aug. 2.
