At a status hearing on Feb. 17, DC Superior Court Judge Robert Okun pushed back the deadlines for motions and opposition responses in a homicide case by a month.
Tyree Irving, 26, is charged with first-degree murder while armed for allegedly shooting 22-year-old Davane Williams.
During the hearing, Irving’s defense attorney Madalyn Harvey and the prosecution requested an extension for the deadline to allow for further preparation. The new deadline for motions is April 4 and the deadline for opposition responses is May 26.
According to the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD), the shooting took place on Jan. 15, 2019, on the 1200 block of North Capitol Street, NW. Officers found Williams suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He eventually succumbed to his injuries.
Judge Okun also granted the defense’s request that Irving’s presence at the next hearing be waived. As the next hearing is for scheduling purposes, Irving’s presence was not deemed necessary.
The next hearing is slated for March 17.
