On June 16, a defendant in a homicide case was arraigned before DC Superior Court Judge Michael O’Keefe.
Ranje Reynolds, 25, is charged with first-degree murder and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence for allegedly shooting and killing 27-year-old Tarek Boothe on Jan. 31, 2022, on the 3200 block of M Street, NW.
Reynolds’ defense attorney, Cheryl Stein, alerted the court Reynolds was pleading not guilty to both counts and asserted his right to a speedy trial.
The prosecution said they intend to send out items for DNA testing.
Parties are expected to return on Nov. 3 for a status hearing.
