He and his co-defendant, Stephon Evans, 19, are charged in connection with the shooting of 21-year-old Dion DeMarco Boyd on July 30, 2018, on the 1400 block of Maryland Avenue, NE.
His co-defendant, whose case was not heard today, is charged with first-degree murder while armed, conspiracy, possession of a firearm during a crime of violence and assault with the intention to kill while armed.
The trial readiness hearing for Evans and Hunter’s case is set for April 7.
