On Oct. 13, a homicide defendant waived his right to independently test DNA evidence before DC Superior Court Judge Michael O’Keefe.
Charles Haythe, 32, is charged with second-degree murder, carrying a dangerous weapon outside a home or business, and possession of a prohibited weapon for his alleged involvement in the fatal stabbing of 26-year-old Aaron Langford on Oct. 25, 2021, on the 1600 block of 18th Street, SE
According to court documents, a witness alleged Haythe and Langford had been in a hostile relationship for approximately five years.
Prosecution said no DNA profile was recovered from the bloody knife found at the scene, and there was no evidence to test.
Haythe waived his right for DNA testing.
Parties are expected to reconvene on Jan. 12 for a status hearing to set a motions schedule.
