The man charged with the murder of his ex-girlfriend agreed to DNA testing as the case against him moves forward.

Hairston has been charged with allegedly murdering his ex-girlfriend, Stephanie Goodloe. Goodloe was found shot to death in her home in June of 2016. Days before she was found, Goodloe had filed a restraining order against Hairston. In her restraining order request, she requested Hairston stayed away from her 11-year-old daughter’s school.

In court on Friday, the government requested DNA testing and Hairston agreed to it. However, during the testing defense will have an investigator present. Hairston pleaded not guilty in July of this year, and is being held without bail.

He is scheduled to appear in court on Dec. 15 and is set for trial in April of 2018.
