A DC Superior Court judge continued a June 2 hearing for a murder case.
Xavier Hamilton, 28, is charged with second-degree murder while armed for his alleged role in the shooting of 39-year-old Ivy Tonnet Smith on March 6, 2016, on the 2800 block of Alabama Avenue, SE.
Hamilton is also charged with possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, unlawful possession of a firearm with a prior conviction, possession of an unregistered firearm and unlawful possession of ammunition in this case.
Judge John Campbell scheduled the next virtual hearing for Oct. 26. Hamilton, who is currently being held at DC Jail, does not need to be present for the hearing, but defense attorney Heather Pinckney said she wants her client to be there.
