Trial is scheduled to begin in April for the murder of a 25 year old.

Carlos Kinney, 23, is charged with second degree murder while armed for allegedly shooting Resha Blount on April 30, 2020, at the 900 block of New Jersey Avenue, NW. 

DC Superior Court Judge Anthony Epstein told counsel Feb. 17 that their pre-trial motions were due by Feb. 24, so that each party has time to respond by March 10.

Based on these motions, the judge said he would decide if it is necessary to hold an evidentiary hearing. 

A trial readiness hearing is scheduled for April 14.
