The defense counsel in a murder case requested a preliminary hearing as they seek to receive more evidence from the prosecution.
On Nov. 14, 2021, police found two men on the 2000 block of Bruce Place, SE, suffering from gunshot wounds. One of them, 52-year-old David Williams, succumbed to his injuries. David Jenkins, 33, is charged with first-degree murder while armed in Williams’ death.
During the most recent hearing for this case on Feb. 22, the defense counsel requested surveillance footage from the time of the shooting. The prosecution said they should be able to hand over the rest of the video footage by Feb. 27.
At the defense’s request, DC Superior Court Judge Rainey Brandt scheduled a preliminary hearing for April 27. The hearing will determine if the case has enough evidence to go to trial.
