A homicide defendant pleaded not guilty to all indictment charges on Jan. 30. before DC Superior Court Judge Todd Edelman.
Oscar Diaz-Romero, 47, is charged with second degree murder for his alleged involvement in the fatal shooting of 27-year-old Jose Molina and 22-year-old Jose Noel Coreas-Carcaro. The incident occurred on Aug. 9, 1997, on the 2400 block of 18th Street, NW.
During the hearing, Diaz-Romero’s attorney, Julie Swaney, notified the court that he intended to plead not guilty to all of his charges, asserting his constitutional rights.
The next hearing is scheduled for Feb. 7.
