A DC Superior Court judge granted the defense’s request to continue a March 17 status hearing so the defense could have more time to discuss a plea offer.
Tavon Davis is charged with second-degree murder while armed in the death of 29-year-old Michael Vest on the 1300 block of Trinidad Avenue, NE on Jun. 28, 2017.
Davis, 22, is also charged with obstruction of justice, soliciting murder, and threat to injure or kidnap a person in this case.
In another case filled in July 2020, Davis is charged with assault with intent to kill while armed.
“I believe the plea offer will lead to the resolution of all cases,” said defense attorney Matthew Davies.
Judge Judith Smith scheduled the next hearing for April 21.
