Dearren Robert Dawkins and 18-year-old Titus Iracks are charged with felony murder, possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, unlawful possession of a firearm with a prior conviction, robbery while armed, attempt to commit robbery while armed and conspiracy while armed for his alleged involvement in the shooting of 43-year-old Larry Harrell on the 1200 block of Mount Olivet Road, NE on June 13, 2018. Iracks is a Title 16 youth being held at DYRS.

Judge Danya Dayson granted a mutual continuance, according to DC Courts. The hearing is scheduled to continue on Nov. 19.

A wired plea deal, which could only be valid if both defendants accept it, was offered on Nov. 6.

The deal is scheduled to remain open until Nov. 19, according to DC Courts.

The defendants rejected two other plea deals in January and October.

According to court documents, 23-year-old Dawkins, who was with Iracks, said Harrell pulled out a gun and opened fire first. Fearing for his safety, Dawkins said he pulled out his own gun and returned fire. At the time of the alleged murder, Iracks was wearing a GPS tracking device which placed him near the crime scene.
