During a hearing July 11, a DC Superior Court judge questioned an interruption in a murder defendant’s tracking device.
Per the terms of a plea agreement, Kimberly Shaw pleaded guilty Feb. 1 to voluntary manslaughter for the stabbing death of Leonte Cox, 23, on the 1600 block of R Street, SE, in 2017. Shaw, 35, is currently released under the High Intensity Supervision Program (HISP).
Shaw’s GPS monitor apparently had an interruption which concerned her case manager. Pretrial services told Judge Danya Dayson that Shaw’s GPS battery was not properly charged and expired. Pretrial services said this was also due to her being in a hospital from June 20 to June 27.
Defense counsel told Judge Dayson that Shaw has been reporting for drug testing, and will continue to report to her case manager.
According to the District Attorney’s Office the case was transfered from DC to Maryland.
D.C. Witness was not able to verify the terms of Shaw’s plea agreement.
