A felony status conference was unable to take place Sept. 26 because defense counsel was not present. The hearing was rescheduled for next week. 

Delonta Daniel is charged with first-degree murder while armed for allegedly shooting Bernard Jarvis, 25, on the 2400 block of 14th Street, NE on June 28. Jarvis died on the scene.

Kristin McGough, Daniel’s defense attorney, could not be at the hearing because she was in another trial. DC Superior Court Judge Danya Dayson is also presiding over a trial, so she could not wait for McGough. 

The hearing is scheduled to occur on Oct. 4.
