A DC Superior Court judge scheduled a preliminary hearing for a double homicide case.
Jalen Browne is accused of shooting 22-year-old Jovan Hill and 19-year-old Tariq Riley. On July 25, 2021, Metropolitan Police Department officers responded to a shooting on the 100 block of Q Street, NW. Jovan and Tariq were found with gunshot wounds and later pronounced dead at a local hospital. A third victim walked into the hospital with gunshot wounds to the torso and was admitted in critical but stable condition, according to court documents.
Browne, 20, is charged with first-degree murder while armed.
Judge Robert Okun scheduled a preliminary hearing for March 24 to decide if the case has enough evidence to go to trial.
