One of Two Murder Defendants Found Incompetent

DC Superior Court Judge Robert Okun continued a murder case involving two defendants to determine the next steps in a July 26 hearing.

Marlan Smith and Anthony Monroe, both 17, are charged with first-degree murder while armed for their alleged involvement in the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Antonio Cunningham on Sept. 11, 2023, on the 2300 block of Washington Place, NE.

Smith was found mentally incompetent after a full examination.

The case has been paused for parties to negotiate up to 45 days since both defendants are involved in other cases.

Parties are scheduled to reconvene on Sept. 6.
