DC Superior Court Judge Michael Ryan told a homicide defendant to “keep up the good work” on June 23, following his compliance with release orders.
Martell West, 24, is charged with second-degree murder while armed for his alleged involvement in the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Treyvon Wilson on Nov. 19, 2023, at the 2300 block of Good Hope Court, SE. Wilson sustained a gunshot to his torso and succumbed to his injuries at the scene.
On Feb. 26, West was released with electronic GPS monitoring.
At the hearing, Judge Ryan reviewed a notice of compliance sent by a representative from the Pretrial Services Agency (PSA) on June 17. West has been following the judge’s orders and has committed no infractions according to the notice.
Judge Ryan complimented West for his good behavior and stated, “It is very important for your continued release.” West responded, “I’ll keep it up.”
The parties are scheduled to reconvene on Aug. 11.
