Homicide

Murder Defendant Won’t Come to Court With Black Eye

A murder defendant failed to appear before DC Superior Court Judge Michael Ryan on Feb. 9.

Korin Agnew, 37, is charged with second-degree murder while armed for his alleged involvement in the fatal shooting of 20-year-old Korey Glasker on Sept. 11, 2024, on the 3700 block of Alabama Avenue, SE.

Agnew refused to board the bus at the DC Jail, according to Judge Ryan.

Agnew’s attorney, Sara Kopecki, requested Judge Ryan issue a medical exemption because Agnew had a black eye. Kopecki said Agnew was no longer receiving his medication, and the winter weather might have caused the injury to worsen.

Judge Ryan said he would email the acting general counsel at the DC Department of Corrections (DOC) to ask for a medical exemption for Agnew’s court appearance.

Parties are slated to reconvene on Feb. 18.
