The jury selection for six co-defendants charged with allegedly shooting a 10-year-old girl is still going on.
Qujuan Thomas, 24, Quentin Michals, 25, Marquell Cobbs, 21, Darrise Jeffers, 23, Isaiah Murchison, 22, and Gregory Taylor, 26, are 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 connection to the fatal drive-by shooting that killed 10-year-old Makiyah Wilson on July 16, 2018, on the 300 block of 53rd Street, NE.
During the jury selection, which has been ongoing for over a week, more than 60 potential jurors were interviewed by the parties and DC Superior Court Judge Robert Okun.
Jury selection is scheduled to continue on Feb. 15 with opening statements of the trial expected to begin later in the week.
