A DC Superior Court judge continued a May 10 hearing to allow time for the defense to review discovery evidence.

Nathan Hunter, 39, is charged with second-degree murder while armed in the shooting of 44-year-old Ronald McKnight on April 18 on the 1600 block of 7th Street, NW. Hunter was arrested that same day.

Defense attorney Frances D’Antuono also asked Judge Jonathan Pittman to extend their subpoena power until the next hearing, which he agreed to do. 

The next hearing is scheduled for June 17.
