DC Superior Court Judge Erik Christian deemed a carjacking defendant mentally competent to stand trial on Sept. 5, following a report from the DC Department of Behavioral Health (DBH).
Kevin Weaver, 32, is charged with unarmed carjacking of a taxicab driver, kidnapping of a senior citizen, and threat to kidnap or injure a person, for his alleged involvement in a carjacking. The incident occurred on Sept. 10, 2023, at the intersection of 7th and Monroe Streets, NE. No individuals were harmed.
Neither party contested the competency finding, but Jay Mykytiuk, Weaver’s attorney, requested additional time to prepare for the next hearing.
Parties are scheduled to reconvene Sept. 26.
