Co-defendants Antoine Byrd and Devonte Johnson who were arrested last January in connection with Robinson’s Pal’s death, have been scheduled for a status hearing for later this year.
The government was not present during the hearing Tuesday, therefore the judge decided that no updates can be discussed in court until “all parties” are “present.”
When police arrived at the 1100 block of 17th St. NW last January, they found Pal suffering from stab wounds. He was taken to a hospital and later died from his injuries.
Johnson and Byrd were charged with first-degree murder while armed last February, and are currently being held without bond as they wait for their trial to begin in September.
Byrd and Johnson are expected back in court on June 15th.
