During a felony status conference on April 4, DC Superior Court Judge Rainey Brandt met with co-defendants in a murder case after one had been arrested last week.
Demonte Gibson, 25, and Trequan Nelson, 23, are charged with first-degree murder while armed for allegedly shooting Delonte King, 34, on Nov. 3, 2021, on the 2800 block of 14th Street, NW.
During the hearing, Judge Brandt said the hearing was scheduled because Nelson was arrested last week, and she felt that the parties should convene.
Defense attorney Jesse Winograd requested a preliminary hearing for Nelson, since Gibson already had his.
Nelson is scheduled to have a preliminary hearing on May 1.
The parties are scheduled to return May 26 for a felony status conference.
