During a hearing on Sept. 8, two co-defendants were arraigned on murder charges.
Ky’lee Palmer, 23, is charged with first-degree murder while armed, assault to kill while armed, possession of a firearm, tampering with physical evidence, and destruction of property worth $1,000 or more for allegedly shooting 60-year-old Barron Goodwin on Feb. 12, 2020, on the 800 block of 51st Street, SE. Palmer is also charged with kidnapping while armed and unlawful possession of a firearm with a prior conviction in another case.
On Sept. 7, Metropolitan Police Officers (MPD) arrested and charged 20-year-old Aaron Adgerson with premeditated first-degree murder, assault with intent to kill while armed, and two counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence for his alleged involvement in the same case.
Palmer and Adgerson pleaded not guilty to all charges and asserted their rights to a speedy trial.
DC Superior Court Judge Michael O’Keefe scheduled the next hearing for Sept. 22.
