On July 10, a defense attorney told a DC Superior Court judge that she has still not received evidence from the prosecution after requesting it nearly two months ago.
Carson Posey, 20, is charged with first-degree murder while armed for allegedly shooting 28-year0old Shantal Hill on April 15 on the 1200 block of North Capitol Street, NW. After witnesses heard multiple gunshots, they found 28 year-old Shantal Hill lying on the ground in the parking lot outside of her apartment building.
Judge Julie Becker gave the prosecution two weeks to give the defense evidence.
According to court documents, as Hill faded in and out of consciousness, she told witnesses, “I can’t die, I have kids.”
When asked who shot her, she named the defendant, who is her ex-boyfriend.
Posey is being held in DC Jail.
His next court appearance is scheduled for July 31.
