On Jan. 11, a DC Superior Court judge set a murder case for a trial readiness hearing.
Co-defendants Stephon Evans and Kewon Hunter are both indicted on charges of first-degree murder while armed, conspiracy while armed, posession of a firearm during a crime of violence and carrying a pistol without a license outside a home or business.
The two are charged in connection with the fatal shooting of 21-year-old Dion DeMarco Boyd on July 30, 2018, on the 1400 block of Maryland Avenue, NE.
Hunter’s defense attorney, Howard McEachern, said that plea discussions for his client broke down and options for a resolution without trial have been exhausted.
Evan’s defense attorney, Joseph Caleb, told Judge Juliet McKenna that it’s hard to say how he and his client can be expected to proceed in this case.
Parties agreed to set the case for a trial readiness hearing, which is scheduled for April 7.
