Tierra Posey was acquitted of all charges on March 20, 2024.

On June 7, a DC Superior Court judge granted a motion to lift the curfew of a murder defendant currently on pretrial release.

Tierra Posey is charged with second-degree murder while armed in the Jan. 6, 2020 shooting of 21-year-old Tia Carey on the 3700 block of Minnesota Avenue, NE.

Posey, 23, is released into the High Intensity Supervision Program (HISP).

Defense attorney Kevann Gardner asked Judge Juilet McKenna to remove his client’s curfew and take her off of GPS monitoring.

Judge McKenna agreed to remove the curfew, but not the GPS.

Posey’s next hearing is scheduled for Nov. 3.
