DC Superior Court Judge Yvonne Williams continued a murder defendant’s Jan. 4 status hearing to April 13 in hopes that an idictment will be filed by then.
Gary Massey is charged with second-degree murder while armed in the fatal shooting of 29-year-old Gregory Mayo in the early hours of March 29.
Around 1:22 a.m. that day, Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officers responded to the 700 block of Alabama Avenue, SE after reports of gunshot sounds, according to a press release. There, they found Mayo inside of a vehicle, suffering from a gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead on the scene.
Massey, 24, was arrested that same day.
“The investigation, on the scene, indicates that this offense was a result of a dispute between known parties,” the press release stated.
Massey will remain held while he awaits his next hearing.
