A detention hearing was set for Seth Holmes Thursday morning, who is currently being held without bail.
Holmes was charged with second-degree murder while armed when Damonta Thompson was found dead in the 100 block of Irvington St. SW, on May 9.
Judge Lynn Leibovitz encouraged both the defense and the prosecution to move around their schedules so as to avoid delaying the beginning of Holmes’ trial. After some deliberation, the prosecution agreed to “make it work” and appear in court on July 26.
