On June 6, D.C. Superior Court judge set a deadline for the prosecution to test and transfer evidence in a murder case.

Robert E. Green, 28, is charged with first-degree murder while armed for allegedly shooting Andre Junior, 43, on the 1500 block of Park Road, NW on March 15, 2018. Green, who is also known as “Tony E. Gray,”  has additional charges, including possession of a firearm during a crime of violence and unlawful possession of a firearm with a prior conviction.

Judge Dayna A. Dayson ordered the prosecution to complete DNA testing by June 20. She told the prosecution to notify the court if they would need additional testing. The defense has decided to independently test the evidence as well.

During the hearing, Eugene Ohm, Green’s defense attorney, said he will not be trying Green’s case. However, DC Courts does not show a motion to change counsel.

A status hearing was rescheduled from June 20 to July 19.
