Judge Pushes Hearing to Review Additional Evidence in Fatal Shooting Case

DC Superior Court Judge Robert Okun granted a newly appointed defense attorney’s request for extra time to review additional evidence provided by the prosecution during a hearing on June 24. 

Jaime Macedo, 23, is charged with felony murder while armed, robbery while armed, two counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, and unlawful possession of a firearm with a prior conviction for his involvement in the fatal shooting of Maxwell Emerson, 25, on July 5, 2023. The incident occurred at Catholic University on the 600 block of Alumni Lane, NE.

At the hearing, Macedo’s defense attorney, Jessica Willis, stated that she received evidence last night consisting of Grand Jury statements and body-worn camera footage from the prosecution.

Parties are set to return on July 26.
