A prosecutor told a DC Superior Court judge that he was not requesting to hold a murder defendant in jail until trial.
Keandre Barber is charged with first-degree murder while armed for allegedly shooting 29-year-old Juan Marcell Grant on the 700 block of Princeton Place, NW on June 19.
DC Superior Court Judge Danya Dayson agreed to release Barber, 19, but she imposed a stay away order from Grant’s family. Barber must also stay out of Washington, DC unless he is meeting with his lawyer or appearing for court.
Although Barber is not under the High Intensity Supervision Program (HISP), he is required to wear a GPS monitoring device.
Mani Golzari, Barber’s defense attorney, did not object to the release.
Barber is scheduled for a status hearing on Dec. 9.
