During a Jan. 31 hearing, defense attorney Franz Jobson discussed a possibility for independent DNA testing in a murder case.
Keanan Turner is charged with two counts of first-degree murder and one count of assault with intent to kill in connection to allegedly shooting Wanda Wright, 48, and Ebony Wright, 31, as well as the injuring another victim on the 2000 block of Good Hope Court, SE on April 12, 2021.
Jobson said there were technical difficulties in obtaining some evidence, and he would be ready by the next hearing date to determine if independent DNA testing would be pursued.
Turner, 33, is said to be the father of Ebony’s child.
According to the Metropolitan Police Department, members of DC Fire and Emergency Services were dispatched to the scene shortly before MPD because of an active fire alarm. DC Fire and EMS said the cause of the fire was burning documents that Ebony served to Turner for child support through DC Family Court.
The next hearing is scheduled for Feb. 14.
