A homicide defendant pleaded not guilty to all arraignment charges before DC Superior Court Judge Todd Edelman on Jan. 31.
Daniel Chapman, 37, is charged with second-degree murder while armed and carrying a dangerous weapon outside a home or business for his alleged involvement in the stabbing of Antoine Ealey, 43. The incident occurred on Jul. 22, 2023, on the 2300 Block of L’Enfant Square, SE.
At the hearing, Aubrey Dillon, Chapman’s attorney, alerted the court of his intent to plead not guilty to both counts, and asserted his constitutional rights, including a speedy trial.
Parties are slated to reconvene May 16.
