On Dec. 4, a defense attorney waived her client’s right to a preliminary hearing, saying the defendant was “eager to accept responsibility” in the case.

D’Angelo Davis is charged with first-degree murder while armed for allegedly shooting 37-year-old Michael Miller on the 1600 block of Minnesota Avenue, SE in July.

During the hearing, the prosecution said she was unsure whether or not the government would offer a plea deal. The prosecutor said she plans to speak with the victim’s family before making an offer.

Davis, who was 38 years old at the time of his arrest, is scheduled for a felony status conference on Jan. 17, 2019.
