On Oct. 28, a DC Superior Court judge scheduled a hearing to determine if a murder case has enough evidence to go to trial. 

Dohn Harmon, 21, is charged with first-degree murder for allegedly shooting 18-year-old Kelvin Goggins on the 1800 block of Q Street, SE on July 1. Goggins, a resident of Southeast, DC, was pronounced dead at Washington Hospital Center. 

According to court documents, Harmon “indicated that he did participate as the driver in the murder.”

He also reportedly told the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) that Goggins was not the intended target, according to court documents.

Hsrmon refused to say who else was involved. 

The defendant was arrested on Oct. 8. He is currently being held at DC Jail.

Judge Julie Becker scheduled Harmon’s preliminary hearing for Nov. 23.
