Homicide Defendant Waives Right to Independently Test DNA

On Oct. 4, a defendant waived his right to independently test DNA evidence recovered from a homicide scene. 

Anthony Lewis, 24, is charged with first-degree murder while armed and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence for his alleged involvement in the killing of 19-year-old Camero Clemons

Clemons was shot on May 28, 2022, but later died from the gunshot wound on June 4, 2022. The shooting occurred on the 600 block of Otis Place, NW. 

According to court documents, two groups were shooting at each other, leaving an additional individual injured. 

Prosecutors do not intend to test physical evidence either. 

Parties are expected back on Dec. 12.
