A DC Superior Court judge scheduled a preliminary hearing to determine if the case against a defendant accused of murdering a 27-year-old woman has enough evidence to go to trial.
Joseph Fox is charged with second-degree murder while armed in the fatal shooting of Sierra Johnson. On the night of Jan. 19, she was found in the driver’s seat of a vehicle on the 2500 block of Georgia Avenue, NW, suffering from gunshot wounds. Two children were seated in the back of the vehicle, according to court documents.
Fox, 27, was arrested less than a week later. Detectives believe the homicide to have been domestic in nature. Court documents disclose that Jonson was four months pregnant at the time she was killed.
Judge Milton Lee scheduled the preliminary hearing for March 8.
