Daryl Thompson pleaded not guilty to the murder charges against him.
Thompson allegedly fatally shot 29-year-old Edward Roberts Jr., on July 30, 2016. Roberts was found suffering from multiple gunshot wounds in the 3500 block of 14th Street, NW.
Nearly a month later, on Aug. 29, 2016, 23-year-old Tyler McEachern, was found suffering from multiple gunshot wounds in the 3100 block of Buena Vista Terrace, SE.
Thompson was arrested on Oct. 18, 2016 and charged with two counts of first-degree murder while armed for the alleged fatal shooting of McEachern and Roberts.
Thompson pleaded not guilty to these charges and his attorney requested evidence from the government.
They are set to reappear for a felony status conference on Sept. 8.
