This was the first week in the trial of a 16-year-old charged with first degree murder in a 2022 shooting that left one teen dead and three other victims injured.
while armed and 15 other crimes associated with the shootings went on trial in D.C. Superior Court. District prosecutors mapped out their case against the youth, who they say began shooting as part of a neighborhood dispute.
The youth’s defense attorney, Lydia Wade, said police arrested the wrong person as hundreds of people began running through the chaos that night and that her client was not involved in the shooting. So far at trial, prosecutors have not presented any DNA evidence, eyewitness or security or police body-camera footage that identifies the youth as the shooter. Instead, prosecutors spent the week showing graphic video of the shooting.Jonathan Merrill testified that he and other D.C. police officers were on the National Mall supervising another music festival but relocated to the 14th and U corridor for reports of an unruly gathering.
