A judge issued a bench warrant for the arrest of a defendant who is also wanted for the murder of an 11-year-old boy in Southeast, DC on July 4.

Carlo General, who is also known as Carlos Tyrone General, is charged with carrying a pistol without a license, possession of an unregistered firearm and unlawful possession of ammunition in a 2019 case.

DC Superior Court Judge Gerald Fisher issued the bench warrant for General because he failed to show up to his July 15 pretrial show cause hearing for the firearms charges.

A notice of noncompliance was filed on July 10.

Another notice of noncompliance was filed on March 12.

According to DC Courts, the defendant was released under the High Intensity Supervision Program (HISP) on March 3 under new pretrial release conditions. The defendant resided at a halfway house in DC from Feb. 28, 2019, until March of 2019.

The Commonwealth of Virginia held General in jail for multiple cases in 2019 until March of 2020. Case records show that General pleaded guilty to assault, statutory burglary and eluding a police officer in Prince William County, Va. A probation violation was filed for him on June 8.

The defendant also has an arrest warrant for the first-degree murder while armed for his alleged connection to the shooting of 11-year-old Davon McNeal. He is one of four suspects in McNeal’s death.

Police have apprehended 22-year-old Christian Wingfield and 18-year-old Daryle Bond in connection to the murder.

Judge Fisher also issued a bench warrant for Brandon Devaughn, who is charged with robbery and second-degree burglary, for allegedly robbing a store with two other people on Feb. 22, 2019, on the 3900 block of Benning Road, NE. 

Devaughn was scheduled to appear in court to address instances of noncompliance with the conditions of his pretrial release.

Multiple bench warrants have been filed for the defendant’s arrest throughout the course of the case.

Devaughn’s next hearing is scheduled for Sept. 28.
