On March 22, homicide defendant Myron Hickson waived his right to independent DNA testing before DC Superior Court Judge Robert Okun. 

Hickson, 36, is charged with second-degree murder while armed for his alleged involvement in the homicide of 38-year-old Maurice Frazier, which occurred on Oct. 28, 2022, on the 900 block of Bellevue Street, SE. 

During the hearing, prosecution stated that they are not seeking any DNA testing for this matter. 

Likewise, defense attorney Dana Page informed the court that the defendant was waiving his right to independent DNA testing. 

Parties will reconvene on Aug. 23 for a pretrial status hearing.
