A sick juror interrupted the ongoing murder trial on March 22 for those charged with the murder of 10-year-old Mayikah Wilson on July 18, 2018. The nearly five-year-old case has been the subject of considerable media and public interest.
Gregory Taylor, 26, Quentin Michals, 25, Qujuan Thomas, 24, Darrise Jeffers, 23, Isaiah Murchison, 22, and Marquell Cobbs, 21, are six of 10 defendants charged with first-degree murder, criminal street gang affiliation, conspiracy, possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, assault with intent to kill, and other charges in a drive by shooting on the 300 block of 53rd Street, NE.
The court was alerted to the juror’s illness before the scheduled proceedings.
Trial is expected to resume March 23.
