Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Melissa K. Copeland scheduled another hearing for the 20-year-old and 18-year-old co-defendants suspected of killing 19-year-old Darcell Mitchell on the 800 block of West Lexington Street.
Charles Bowen, 20, is charged with two counts of first-degree murder, armed robbery, conspiracy to commit armed robbery and firearm use in a felony violent crime.
Davon Butler, 18, is charged with two counts of first-degree murder, armed robbery, conspiracy to commit armed robbery, firearm use in a felony violent crime, having a handgun on his person, having a loaded handgun on his person, possession of a firearm as a minor and illegal possession of a regulated firearm for the Feb. 20 murder.
The pair also has another co-defendant, a 17-year-old juvenile.
The two co-defendants will appear in a joint motion hearing to determine if they will be tried together on Oct. 29 before Judge Robert K. Taylor, Jr.
Butler’s attorney Andre Mahasa was in another trial Oct. 4 and did not represent his client in today’s proceeding.
The co-defendants were arrested in early March for their alleged involvement in Mitchell’s death, according to a Baltimore Police Department press release.
