A defense attorney asked a DC Superior Court judge for a continuance so her client could be mentally restored.
Vaughn Alexander Kosh, a resident of Northeast, DC, on Dec. 7. Kosh is charged with first-degree murder while armed and with the intent to kill for allegedly shooting 38-year-old Alayna Danielle Howard in her apartment on the 1700 block of Capitol Avenue, NE. Howard’s mother and boyfriend were also injured in the shooting.
Elizabeth Weller, defense attorney for Kosh, 48, asked Judge Ronna Beck for a continued preliminary hearing because mental competency exam results showed that Kosh could be completely restored.
The prosecution did not object.
A mental observation hearing has been set on Jan. 24, 2020.
