During a status hearing Nov. 1, a DC Superior Court judge granted the defense’s request for a continuance and set a new trial date.
Antonio Williams is charged with second-degree murder while armed for allegedly shooting Antwaun Smith, 41, on the 600 block of Newton Place, NW in 2017.
Williams’s trial is scheduled to begin Nov. 12, 2019.
The trial was initially scheduled to start Aug. 19, 2019. However, Williams’ defense attorney, Nathaniel Mensah, filed a motion to continue it in September.
Williams, 38, is scheduled to appear in court for a status hearing on June 21, 2019.
