A D.C. judge Monday dismissed a murder charge against an anti-violence counselor in the District who had been accused in a 2017 fatal shooting, concluding authorities did not have enough evidence linking him to the crime, according to court officials and the man s defense attorney.
Following a preliminary hearing, D.C. Superior Court Judge Danya Dayson ordered that 39-year-old Cotey Wynn be released from D.C. jail.
