Koran Gregory, 19, charged with first-degree murder, was ordered held without bond in the Mother’s Day shooting of young Arianna Davis.
The new details emerged after police on Monday announced the first arrest in the killing. Koran Gregory of Northeast Washington, who is charged with first-degree murder, made his initial appearance Tuesday in Superior Court and was ordered held without bond. His attorney, Anthony Matthews, in seeking to have the case dismissed, argued that there was no direct evidence tying Gregory to the crime.
Shell casings collected at the scene on Hayes Street have been linked by crime-lab tests to four firearms — a .40-caliber, two 9mms and a .223-caliber — that were used in nearly 30 other gun-related crimes the D.C. area, including three other killings over the last year, the affidavit says. Homicide detectives linked Gregory to one of the vehicles involved in the shooting, the affidavit says. That car, an Audi Q7 that police found ablaze in Prince George’s County, hours after Arianna’s slaying, was carjacked in April outside of a hotel in Northeast Washington, the affidavit says.
Magistrate Judge Lloyd Nolan Jr. ordered Gregory jailed until his next hearing, on Sept. 28. About 20 of Gregory’s family members sat in the back of the courtroom. As deputy marshals escorted Gregory out, he yelled, “Love y’all!”
