DC Superior Court Judge Rainey Brandt set a new trial date for Karlos Bibb after the previous trial date of June 9 was cancelled to allow continuing investigation for undisclosed reasons.

Karlos Bibb, 25, is charged with second-degree murder for his alleged involvement in deliberately inflicting fatal injuries in a vehicle collision on July 3rd, 2021, on the 900 block of 14th Street, N.W. Jamya Williams was found unconscious in the driver’s seat after she was struck by Bibb’s vehicle.

DNA testing results from the vehicle involved in the incident are anticipated at the next status hearing. Both the prosecutor and Bibb’s defense counsel, Jason Clark and Shawn Sukumar, agreed to a new trial date in January of 2026. 

The next status hearing date will be held on September 15.
