A DC Superior Court judge confirmed a preliminary hearing date to determine if a case against three teenage defendants charged with murder has enough evidence to go to trial.
The three co-defendants, 17-year-old Nelfy Hernandez, 16-year-old Trey Prillerman and 19-year-old Deandre Levy are charged with first-degree murder while armed for their alleged roles in the shooting of 17-year-old Taijhon Wyatt, Jr. On Aug. 20, 2020, the three allegedly shot blindly into a group of juveniles on the 5500 Block of 9th Street, NW.
All three defendants are being charged as adults.
The preliminary hearing is scheduled for March 3.
