On July 27, DC Superior Court Judge Robert Okun arraigned defendant Marcus Barringer on 18 charges. He pleaded not guilty to all during a stormy proceeding.
Barringer, 32, is charged with first-degree murder premeditated while armed among other serious charges for his alleged involvement in the death of Rashad Davis.
Davis, 32, was shot and killed on May 6, 2022, on the 2300 block of Nicholson Street, SE.
Barringer is representing himself in court, and in periodic outbursts through the hearing, claimed his innocence and accused various court officials of perjury.
Given the defendant’s erratic behavior, Judge Okun ordered a competency evaluation to ensure Barringer is capable of representing himself.
The result of this evaluation will be discussed at a hearing on Aug. 29.
