During a March 6 hearing, defendant Dohn Harmon demonstrated that he has been compliant with his terms of release. 

Harmon is currently facing one charge of first-degree murder while armed for the death of 18-year-old Kelvin Goggins. Harmon allegedly shot Goggins in the head during a drive by shooting on the 1800 block of Q Street, SE. The incident occurred a little after midnight on July 1, 2020, with the victim died from the injuries less than an hour after MPD arrived at the scene. 

Harmon, 24, is currently released under the High Intensity Supervision Program (HISP). As part of his release, he is subject to random drug testing. 

In a previous hearing in December 2022, DC Superior Court Judge Maribeth Raffinan granted an amendment to the GPS release conditions to allow the defendant an opportunity to seek employment while on release.

The official indictment charges for the case are currently pending on the action of a Grand Jury. 

DC Superior Court Judge Michael O’Keefe is now presiding over the case due to a caseload transfer. 

The hearing was continued to May 26.
