A DC Superior Court judge schedules an arraignment for a man charged with homicide.

Darius Robertson, 29, is charged with second-degree murder in connection with the death of 33 year-old Andre Robertson who was assaulted in the Clay Terrace neighborhood of Northeast, DC. Antonio Hensley is the co-defendant in this case. 

Robertson allegedly beat his cousin to death on a street corner. 

The defendant’s appearance was waived during the July 15 hearing, due to a scratch and COVID-19 quarantine. 

The prosecution has not indicted the case.

D.C. Superior Court Judge Milton Lee set an arraignment date of Aug. 10.

Defense attorney Michael Madden requested a trial date, but Judge Lee said a trial date would be decided at a later time.
