Murder Defendant Requests Continuance for Jail Visit

A status hearing for a homicide case was postponed and rescheduled in front of DC Superior Court Judge Jason Park on April 11. 

Joshua Allen, 33, is charged with first-degree murder premeditated while armed, assault with intent to kill while armed, aggravated assault knowingly while armed, three counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, unlawful possession of a firearm by a convict, and carrying a pistol without license outside a home or business.

The charges stem from his alleged involvement in the fatal shooting of 28-year-old Delonte Johnson on June 11, 2021, on the 4600 block of Hillside Road, SE.

Under seal, the parties discussed a request from Allen to postpone the originally scheduled April 11 status hearing due to a conflict with a jail visit. The request was unopposed, and Judge Park continued the original status hearing date. 

Parties are slated to reconvene on April 18.
