The trial of two homicide defendants continued on Jan. 31, with three additional witnesses testifying in front of DC Superior Court Judge Jason Park.

Ronald Wallace, 48, and DeAngelo Glover, 30, are charged with first-degree murder while armed, assault with intent to kill while armed, two counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, and unlawful possession of a firearm, for their alleged involvement in the fatal shooting of 34-year-old Tyrone Wright on Jan. 19, 2021 on the 3700 block of Hayes Street, NE. 

Wallace is additionally charged with carrying a pistol outside of home or business. The incident occurred in an apartment complex on the 3700 Block of Hayes Street, NE, on Jan. 19, 2021. 

The prosecution called three witnesses, including a T-Mobile employee, an FBI agent, and an investigator at the US Attorneys Office, review two cellphone numbers connected to the case. 

The T-Mobile employee reviewed the cell phone data and subscriber account information for the phone numbers associated with Wallace and Glover and admitted that the company has no way of definitively knowing who was using the devices at the time.

The FBI special agent testified that Glover and Wallace’s phones were in the general area of the incident at the time of the homicide, but stated he could not pinpoint the exact location of their phones. 

In a cross examination, the defense counsel argued that these data logs do not include a record of who was using the device, the transcripts or contexts of the calls.

Parties are slated to reconvene on Feb 3.
