A DC Superior Court judge arraigned a homicide defendant on seven counts.

The defendant, 47-year-old Raymond Davis, is accused of shooting 39-year-old Henry Hackett on June 3, 2020, on the 2000 block of Langston Place, SE.

During the Oct. 20 hearing, Davis was arraigned on charges of first-degree murder while armed, unlawful possession of ammunition, possessing a firearm during a crime of violence, unlawful possession of a firearm, carrying a pistol without a license outside a home or business, possession of an unregistered firearm, and destruction of property less than $1,000.

Judge Marisa Demeo scheduled the next hearing for Nov. 29. In the meantime, Davis will remain held at DC Jail.
