On June 14, a DC Superior Court judge continued a murder case after the defense attorney asked for more time to discuss a plea offer with her client.
Vaugh Kosh is charged with first-degree murder while armed in the shooting of 38-year-old Alayna Howard on Dec. 7, 2019, on the 1700 block of Capitol Avenue, NE.
Defense attorney Elizabeth Weller said the prosecution has offered a plea deal, but she has not been able to get in touch with her client, who is being held at DC Jail, in order to talk about it with him.
Judge Juliet Mckenna scheduled a status hearing for July 8.
Kosh, 49, is also charged with possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, assault with a dangerous weapon, first-degree burglary while armed, unlawful possession of a firearm with a prior conviction and assault with intent to kill while armed in this case.
