During a Feb. 24 hearing, the prosecution noted that there has been a plea offer sent to two out of the three defendants.

Eighteen-year-old Nelfy Hernandez, 20-year-old DeAndre Levy, and 18-year-old Trey Prillerman are allegedly charged with first-degree murder regarding the shooting of a group of teenagers that resulted in the death of Taijhon Waytt, 17. The shooting took place on the 5500 block of 9th Street, NW on Aug. 10, 2020. 

A plea offer was sent to Hernandez and Prillerman but has not yet been sent to Levy.

Although there was no material in the car that Levy’s defense attorney, Jonathan Zucker, wants tested, he said there is no other evidence from the scene that he could test because the prosecution has already tested everything.

“We filed a notice before we began testing and never received a response,” the prosecution said.

The parties are scheduled to return for further discussions on March 3.
