During a status hearing Aug. 20, two murder defendants were scheduled for another status hearing, so the parties would have time to discuss a plea offer.
Kewon Hunter and Stephon Evans are charged with second-degree murder while armed for allegedly shooting 21-year-old Dion Boyd on the 1400 block of Maryland Avenue, NE on July 30, 2018.
The prosecution informed the court that they intended to make a plea offer to the defendants. Both the prosecution and the defense requested another hearing date so the plea offer could be considered and explained to the defendants.
The substance of the offers were not revealed in open court.
The prosecution also said they would provide all remaining discovery materials to the defense.
Hunter and Evans are scheduled for a status hearing on Sept. 6.
