A murder defendant was determined to be in compliance with his pretrial release conditions on Dec. 8. 

Dohn Harmon is charged with first-degree murder while armed in the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Kelvin Goggins on July 1 on the 1800 block of Q Street, SE. 

Harmon, 21, is currently released under the High Intensity Supervision Program (HISP).

A notice of noncompliance was filed on Dec. 4, according to DC Courts. However, according to the Pretrial Services Agency (PSA), Harmon is in compliance with his conditions. 

During a preliminary hearing on Nov. 23, a judge said Harmon’s case has enough evidence to go to trial. However, due to the defendant’s clean record, he was released. 

Judge Jonathan Pittman did not schedule another hearing as the case is pending action from a grand jury.

In person juries are not currently happening due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
