A DC Superior Court judge scheduled another status hearing to allow time for a homicide defendant to be indicted.
Wesley Scott is charged with first-degree murder while armed in the death of 28-year-old David Young. On April 3, 2020 Young was found on the 3500 block of 22nd Street, SE suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. A minor victim was also shot during the incident but survived.
During the April 12 hearing, the prosecution requested a new status hearing date as parties await a grand jury decision.
Michael Benbow, 18, was also charged with first-degree murder while armed in connection with this homicide, but was killed in an April 1 shooting while on pretrial release. No arrests have been made in connection with his death at this time.
Judge Neal Kravitz scheduled one for Sept. 9.
