During a March 3 arraignment, a defendant pleaded not guilty to six charges in connection to a 2022 case.
Dominique Brown-Young, 21, is charged with first-degree murder premeditated while armed, two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon against a minor, and three counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, in connection to the fatal shooting of Deshaun Cupid, 30. The shooting occurred on the 700 block of 18th Street, NE on March 10, 2022. According to court documents, her children were present at the time of the murder.
On behalf of Brown-Young, attorney Molly Bunke alerted the court he was pleading not guilty to all six charges.
Counsel for both parties requested a trial date for July 2024.
Brown-Young is expected to return to court for a status hearing on May 26.
