Parties announced that they are beginning negotiations to resolve a stabbing case at an Aug. 8 hearing.
Cana Browne, 25, is charged with second-degree murder while armed with a sharp object for allegedly stabbing 42-year-old Ebony Morgan on May 10 on the 100 block of P Street, NE. Police officers found Morgan unconscious and unresponsive with an apparent stab wound to the right side of her neck, according to court documents. Morgan succumbed to her injuries on May 15 at Washington Hospital Center.
DC Superior Court Judge Lynn Leibovitz found substantial probability at a July 8 preliminary hearing after two witnesses identified Browne from video surveillance.
The attorneys asked for one to two months to review materials and begin negotiations. DC Superior Court Judge Robert Okun scheduled Browne’s next court appearance for Oct. 7 to review the status of negotiations.
