A DC Superior Court judge scheduled a jury trial for a 2018 homicide case.
Torey Stockton, 23, is charged with first-degree murder while armed for his alleged connection in drive-by shooting that killed 23-year-old Jasmine Light on Jan. 27, 2018.
That morning, Light and three other victims were found suffering from gunshot wounds on the 1500 block of U Street, SE. Light was pronounced dead at a local hospital, while the other victims survived.
His co-defendant, Kayla Thompson, is charged with obstruction of justice.
During the March 5 hearing, parties agreed to exchange witness information one month before the start of the trial.
Judge Michael Ryan set aside July 13 through 29, 2022, for Stockton’s jury trial.
A trial readiness hearing is scheduled for March 23, 2022.
