A DC Superior Court judge continued a status hearing for a murder defendant.

Mohamed Goodwin, 33, is charged with second-degree murder while armed in the shooting of 25-year-old Devonte Wilson on the 700 block of Morton Street, NW, on Dec. 3, 2020.

Goodwin also has another open case in which he is charged with carrying a pistol without a license outside a home or business.

The prosecution asked Judge Marisa Demeo to set another hearing three months out as they pursue an indictment.

Judge Demeo scheduled a status hearing for July 20 for both cases to let the defense review evidence, and so both parties could determine an appropriate way to move forward.
