On April 12, DC Superior Court Judge Maribeth Raffinan continued a motion hearing in a second-degree murder case to review case law documents. 

Lewkus Turner, 29, is charged with second-degree murder for allegedly shooting 26-year-old Vincent Gyamfi on Dec. 11, 2020, on the 2900 block of S Street, SE.

Both parties filed several motions to limit the scope of evidence presented at trial. 

Judge Raffinan heard arguments for all motions and asked the parties to allow her some time to go over case laws that would assist her in deciding her rulings for each request. 

Parties are expected back in court for a continued motions hearing on April 25.
