On April 29, a DC Superior Court judge ordered that an inmate at the DC Jail be tested for the coronavirus.
Darnell Savoy is charged with conspiracy, assault with intent to kill with a firearm and assault knowingly while armed with a firearm for shooting a man and his child on Dec. 28, 2019. According to court documents, the shooting occurred as a result of mistaken identity.
Judge Todd Edelman ordered that Savoy be tested for COVID-19 by May 1. Judge Edelman also said he wanted to know why Savoy had not already been tested for the virus.
Savoy is scheduled for a status hearing on June 19.
