Charles Jeter, 39, and Kevin Sewell, 33, are charged with first-degree murder while armed, conspiracy, burglary while armed, and possession of a firearm during crime of violence for their alleged involvement in the fatal shooting of 46-year-old Kevin Robinson on Nov. 30, 2014, on the 600 block of Edgewood Street, NE.

Sewell and Jeter also waived their right to independently test DNA evidence.
