A DC Superior Court judge scheduled trial readiness hearings for four of the five defendants charged in connection with a 2019 homicide.
Alonzo Brown, 23, Naquel Henderson, 23, Travist Alston, 27, and Stephon Evans, 20, are charged with first-degree murder while armed in the death of Michael Taylor.
Judge Juliet McKenna scheduled the hearings for March 18, 2021. The four had previously been scheduled to have a jury trial at the end of this month.
Taylor was 22 years-old when he was fatally shot on Jan. 12, 2019, on the 1700 block of Benning Road, NE.
Carlos Turner is also charged with first-degree murder while armed in connection with the homicide. However, his case was not heard on Nov. 19. He is scheduled for a status hearing on Nov. 30.
The other four defendants are also charged with conspiracy to commit a crime of violence, possession of a firearm during a crime of violence and assault with intent to kill while armed in their cases.
