The suspect charged with the Feb. 2 fatal stabbing of 23-year-old transgender woman Deoni Jones as she waited at a Northeast D.C. bus stop has been found competent to stand trial after appearing in D.C. Superior Court for a mental observation hearing this morning, March 23.
Based on two separate mental observation hearings, on March 21 and 23, Judge Robert E. Morin found suspect Gary Niles Montgomery, 55, of Northeast D.C., competent to stand trial, without prejudice, for the crime. Montgomery was arrested Feb. 10 after the Metropolitan Police Department released a video of a man they thought to be Jones's assailant and asked for the public's assistance in identifying the suspect.
