On July 23, a DC Superior Court judge denied the defense’s request for unredacted documents in a murder case.

Robert Edward Green, 27, is charged with first-degree murder while armed for allegedly shooting Andre Junior. According to the Metropolitan Police Department, Junior, 43, was found suffering from multiple gunshot wounds on the 1500 block of Park Road, NW on March 15.

According to the prosecution, police are investigating another unnamed individual in connection to Junior’s death. However, no arrests have been made.

During a felony status conference, Green’s defense attorney, Eugene Ohm, requested that the prosecution hand over unredacted versions of documents.

The prosecutor told Judge Danya Dayson that the defense did not need the unredacted versions because the only thing missing was personal information about the witnesses. Subseqently, Judge Dayson denied the defense’s request.

Green is scheduled for another felony status conference on Sept. 17.
