DC Superior Court Judge Jason Park issued an order on Aug. 26 to ensure that Alonzo Brown, 28, appears for a DC homicide hearing following his transfer to Maryland earlier this summer for a pending case.
Brown is charged with conspiracy, first-degree murder while armed, four counts of assault with intent to kill while armed and five counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, for his alleged involvement in the fatal shooting of Michael Taylor, 21, on Jan. 19, 2019 on the 1700 block of Benning Road, NE.
However, in order to provide Brown’s attorney, Steven Kiersh, adequate time to prepare Judge Park is coordinating with Maryland authorities to make the transfer in a timely fashion.
In issuing a writ for Brown’s detainer and then a warrant Judge Park wants to respect the legal processes in both the Maryland and DC courts.
Parties are scheduled to reconvene on Sept. 11.
