On Nov. 30, a D.C. Superior Court judge set a trial date for a murder defendant who was formally indicted for allegedly stabbing a senior citizen in February.
A grand jury indicted Edward Hampton Brown on first-degree murder while armed and robbery while armed in connection to the death of 71-year-old Michael Mahoney on the 2300 block of 11th Street, NW.
During the hearing, Brown pleaded not guilty. Judge Milton Lee scheduled Brown’s trial on Sept. 23, 2019.
According to court documents, police found Mahoney in his apartment on 11th Street suffering from two stab wounds to his neck. Multiple witnesses told police that Mahoney allowed Brown, 56, to sleep on his couch.
One of Mahoney’s neighbors told police that on the same day police found Mahoney, Brown came to the neighbor’s apartment to shower and the clothes he was wearing contained blood. Apparently, the neighbor found multiple articles of clothing and a towel stained with blood, the documents said.
Brown is scheduled for a status hearing on Jan. 4, 2019.
