A judge continued a hearing on May 22 to give a murder defendant time to comply with release conditions.
Twenty-eight-year-old Olivia Cartwright-Cole, also known as Tristian Tee Cole, Sky Janae Mills and Tristian Melvin Cole, is charged with second-degree murder while armed. She allegedly stabbed 24-year-old Joel David Midgett on the 200 block of K Street, NW in 2015. She is a transgender woman.
Cole is currently released under the High Intensity Supervision Program. There have been multiple notices of non-compliance since Cole’s release on Feb. 10.
Judge Rainey Brandt continued the hearing so that Cole could get into compliance with the release conditions.
D.C. Witness previously reported that Judge Todd Edelman found probable cause that Cole killed Midgett because a witness was able to identify her.
Another hearing is scheduled for June 26.
