On Jan. 4, a DC Superior Court judge scheduled a hearing to determine if a murder case has enough evidence to go to trial.

Cotey Wynn is charged with second-degree murder while armed in the death of Eric Wright on Feb. 17, 2017. Wright was 53-years-old when he was fatally shot on the 900 block of 12th Street, NE.

Wynn, 39, was arrested last December. He will remain held at DC Jail while he awaits his preliminary hearing, which Judge Gerald Fisher scheduled for Feb. 4.
