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

Diamond Stevenson, 28, is charged with second-degree murder while armed and possession of a firearm during crime of violence for her alleged involvement in the fatal shooting of 32-year-old Gregory Wilkins, on Feb. 4, at the 1100 block of Maryland Avenue, NW.

Matthew Davies, Stevenson’s defense attorney, alerted the court that Stevenson was pleading not guilty, asserting her right to a speedy trial.

Parties are expected back on Jan. 19, 2024, for a status hearing.
