During a felony status conference on Aug 23., the defense asked for additional exculpatory evidence to build its case.

Tyree Irving, 22, is charged with first-degree murder while armed for allegedly shooting 22-year-old Davane Williams on Jan.15 on the 1200 block of North Capitol Street, NW.

Defense counsel, John Fowler, requested additional documents that would help craft a defense because the prosecution took too long to turnover documents from the case. 

DC Superior Court Judge Dana Dayson granted the request. 

The prosecution agreed to turnover the documents within ten days. 

The prosecution also said a plea deal was filed. The defense has not made a decision on whether or not to accept the plea as of Aug. 29. 

A felony arraignment is scheduled on Nov 22.
