A DC Superior Court judge continued a Sept. 30 hearing for a murder case.

Wesley Scott, 21, is charged with first-degree murder while armed for allegedly shooting 28-year-old David Young on the 3500 block of 22nd Street, SE, on April 3, 2020. He is being held at the DC Jail.

During the Sept. 30 hearing, the prosecution requested a sixty-day continuance, which the defense did not oppose. Judge Neal Kravitz scheduled the felony status conference for Dec. 1.

Defense attorney Matthew Davies asked that the prosecution turn over any remaining discovery evidence as soon as possible. He also said he would likely file a bond review motion in the near future.
