Lawyers for murder suspect Dujuan Garris requested another hearing, after they discovered the government had information that could help their defense.

The defense was granted another hearing on Feb. 15 before Garris’ trial for the alleged murder of James Anderson begins.

Anderson was shot a little before 7 p.m. on Jan. 11, 2015 inside a building on the 1300 block of 1st St., SW.

This is not the first time the prosecution has asked for the case to go to trial, but it has been delayed. 

Another hearing is scheduled for Feb. 15, 2017. A trial date is set for March 6, 2017.
