A murder defendant’s status hearing was rescheduled until early next year. 

Cyheme Hall along with three other individuals are charged with attempted robbery and felony murder while armed in a bias-related hate crime. Hall, 23, allegedly shot Deeniquia “Dee Dee” Dodds, 22, a transgender woman who was also known as Gregory Dodds, in the neck on the 200 block of Division Avenue, NE on July 13, 2016. A fifth suspect, who was also involved in the shooting, agreed to cooperate with the prosecution.

The status of the case is currently uncertain. Even though there are rumors of a pending plea bargain, the DC Superior Court’s website does not show one being filed, and counsel for the prosecution and the defense declined to comment. Hall is scheduled for a status hearing on Feb. 22, 2019.

Shareem Hall, 24, is pending a preliminary hearing scheduled on Dec. 3, while Monte Tyree Johnson, 23, and Jalonte Little, 28, are scheduled for a status hearing on Jan. 4, 2019. A trial date for Johnson and Little has been set on Jan. 22, 2019.
