D.C. Superior Court Judge Robert Okun agreed to reschedule a felony status conference for a triple homicide. 

Erwin Dubose, 28, and 25-year-old Kamar Queen were both arrested in connection to a triple homicide. According to court documents, two of the surviving victims are verified to be affiliated with the Kennedy Street Crew. Dubs and Queen are charged with first-degree murder while armed.

During the Sept. 9 hearing, the prosecution requested additional time to coordinate with parties and process the evidence. 

The prosecutor told Judge Okun that he expects to secure an indictment by the end of the year.

Judge Okun accepted this request, granting the parties a motion for fuller discovery. 

Both defendants were not present for the hearing due to issues with transportation. They are currently being held at the DC Jail.

On Sept. 4, 2021, a Metropolitan Police Department officer heard gunshots and canvassed the area, according to court documents. He found six victims suffering from apparent gunshot wounds on the 600 block of Longfellow Street, NW. Three of the six victims, Donnetta Dyson, Keenan Braxton, and Johnny Joyner, died from their injuries while en-route to an area hospital. 

The next felony status conference is scheduled to occur on Jan. 13, 2023.
