A DC Superior Court judge scheduled a status hearing to determine if the defense will be requesting a preliminary hearing to decide if a homicide case has enough evidence to go to trial.

Nathan Hunter, 39, is charged with second-degree murder while armed in the shooting of 44-year-old Ronald Mcknight on April 18, on the 1600 block of 7th Street, NW.

During the July 14 hearing, defense attorney Frances D’ Antuono said parties are still waiting on the autopsy report from the medical examiner’s office. Antuno also said the defense still hasn’t received video evidence from the prosecution, who said they will turn it over as soon as possible.

Judge Milton Lee scheduled a status hearing for Aug. 19.
