Brother, Victim’s Friend, and a Confession

A 22-year-old man, Marquis Washington, accused of fatally shooting a 17-year-old during a sleepover at his brother’s house, appeared in court for a bail review. The victim’s mother called 911 and identified her own son as the shooter, noting his mental illness diagnosis. Washington confessed, saying voices drove him to violence, and repeatedly yelled “fire, fire, fire” during his court appearance. His public defender was caught off guard, claiming he waived the hearing. Surprisingly, no immediate mental health evaluation was ordered. The state plans to send the case to a grand jury, and Washington remains jailed without bail pending his next court date. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
