Homicide Defendant Pleads Not Guilty at Arraignment

On Nov. 3, homicide defendant Karon Brown was arraigned before DC Superior Court Judge Anthony Epstein and pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Brown, 32, is charged with second-degree murder while armed,  possession of a firearm during crime of violence, and unlawful possession of a firearm by a convict, for his alleged involvement in the fatal shooting of 32-year old Cynthia Barringer on Oct. 31, 2021 at the 2000 block of Green Street SE.

Brown’s defense attorney, Marnitta King, alerted the court that Brown was pleading not guilty and asserted his constitutional rights, including the right to a speedy trial. 

Parties are expected back on Jan. 26, 2024.
