At a Dec. 1 status hearing for five homicide co-defendants, defendant Darryl Little declared his intent to file a motion to sever from others accused in the case.

Little, 29, Marcel Gavin, 36, Johnny Wilkins, 33, Earl Robinson, 31, and Kharee Jackson, 24 are charged with conspiracy, four counts of first-degree murder while armed, assault with intent to kill, and other charges for their alleged involvement in the shooting of Albert Smith, 21. The incident occurred on June 14, 2020, on the 1300 block of Congress Street, SE. 

Little’s attorney, Wole Falodun, said the motion has not yet been filed, but he intends to do so in the coming weeks. 

Parties will reconvene June 21, 2024, for a status hearing.
