A DC Superior Court judge scheduled a trial date for a homicide defendant.
Mark Price is charged with first-degree murder while armed in the death of 47 year-old Andre Hakim Young. On July 30, 2018, Young and another victims were found on the 1500 block of 19th Street, SE suffering from gunshot wounds. Young was pronounced dead on scene, but the other victim survived and was taken to a nearby hospital.
During the March 3 proceedings, parties agreed that eight days to two weeks seemed like an accurate prediction of how long the trial would take.
Price, 23 has ten additional charges which include possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, assault with intent to kill while armed, first-degree burglary while armed, assault with a dangerous weapon, threat to kidnap or injure a person, and unlawful possession of a firearm.
Price is also charged with first-degree murder while armed in connection with a 2018 drive-by shooting that killed 10 -year-old Makiyah Wilson on the 300 block of 53rd Street, NE.
Judge Michael Ryan scheduled trial to take place from March 23 to April 6, 2022. Jury selection is scheduled for March 14 and 15, 2022.
