After a formal reading of a murder defendant’s indictment, he pleaded not guilty Nov. 8 to charges related to a 2017 homicide.
Ricardo Boston is charged with first-degree murder while armed, possession of firearm during a crime of violence, unlawful possession of a firearm and obstruction of justice for allegedly shooting Dante Coleman in an apartment building on the 3900 block of First Street, SE in 2017. Apparently, the incident happened after an argument.
According to court documents, surveillance footage shows Boston allegedly point an object that is believed to be a gun at Coleman, 20. However, Boston’s hand was not visible in the footage.
A status hearing is scheduled on Jan. 18, 2019.
