Antwan Buchanan pleaded not guilty to the murder charges against him, and the case will now head to trial.
Buchanan is charged with first-degree murder while armed after he allegedly killed Teshean Jermaine Ashe on September 13, 2016.
Judge Milton C. Lee said that the government and defense should have a meeting before the scheduled status hearing of September 29, 2017, this way both parties can remain updated.
A trial start date was scheduled for Oct. 22, 2018.
