A DC Superior Court judge scheduled a preliminary hearing to determine if a murder case has enough evidence to go to trial after learning that a plea deal has been rejected.
Darrell Moore, 43, is charged with second-degree murder while armed for allegedly shooting 37-year-old Julius Hayes on April 3 on the 300 block of 18 Street, NE.
Moore was not brought from the DC Jail to the court to attend his Oct. 1 hearing for medical reasons.
Defense attorney Kevin Irving said his client has rejected a plea deal from the prosecution. Judge Milton Lee scheduled the preliminary hearing for Nov. 18.
