A DC Superior Court judge scheduled a hearing to determine if the evidence against a defendant charged with first-degree murder while armed is enough to bring his case to trial.

On Feb. 6, Isaiah Glover was found with a gunshot wound to the head on the 4000 block Minnesota Avenue, NE. Glover, 30 was found conscious, but was pronounced dead before he could be transported to the hospital. Keith Hudson, 25, was arrested in connection to Glover’s death three days later.

During the March 3 proceedings, defense attorney Michael Madden requested a preliminary hearing for his client. The prosecution asked that the date fall some time in April. 

Madden asked that the prosecution turn over all evidence at least seven days prior to the preliminary hearing to allow him time to make the proper preparations.

Judge John Campbell agreed the request was reasonable and proposed that the prosecution get the materials in at least two weeks prior to the date if possible.

A preliminary hearing is scheduled for April 19.
