On July 14, a defendant in a 2021 homicide case was arraigned before DC Superior Court Judge Maribeth Raffinan.
Tywan Morris, 27, is charged with second-degree murder while armed, carrying a dangerous weapon outside a home or business, and two counts of possession of a prohibited weapon for his alleged involvement in the fatal stabbing of 27-year-old Danielle Stuckey on Oct. 17, 2021, on the 2800 block of Alabama Avenue, SE.
Morris’ defense attorney, Steven Kiersh, alerted the court Morris was pleading not guilty to all charges and asserted his trial rights.
A representative from the Pretrial Services Agency (PSA) said Morris is in full compliance with his release conditions.
Parties are expected to return on July 27 for a status hearing.
