David Key was arraigned on four charges and pleaded not guilty before DC Superior Court Judge Neal Kravitz on May 16.
Key, 38, is charged with first-degree murder premeditated while armed, first-degree murder while armed while committing or attempting to commit a robbery, robbery while armed, and carrying a dangerous weapon outside his home or place of business. The charges stem from his alleged involvement in the fatal stabbing of 33-year-old Devon Greenfield on April 1, 2024, on the 300 block of 61st Street, NE.
Key’s attorney, Howard McEachern, alerted the court that Key intended to plead not guilty to all charges and asserted his constitutional rights.
Parties are slated to reconvene Sept. 26.
