DC Superior Court Judge Milton Lee presided over a status hearing where the defense requested independent DNA and ballistics testing.
Keith Hudson, 26, is charged with first-degree murder while armed, possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, unlawful possession of a firearm with a prior conviction, possession of a large capacity feeding device while armed, and carrying a concealed weapon outside the home or business for allegedly shooting 25-year-old Isaiah Glover on the 4100 block of Minnesota Avenue, NE on Feb. 9, 2021.
During the July 26 status hearing, the prosecution said DNA testing showed “strong support” for the inclusion of the defendant’s DNA on the magazine part of the handgun.
The prosecutor said he believes that this is the same handgun that was used in the shooting.
Defense attorney Michael Madden said he will seek DNA and ballistics testing through independent labs.
Judge Lee set the next status hearing for Sept. 30, so the parties can check on the progress of the defense’s testing.
