Two defendants faced a murder charge in the stabbing of Tyshon Perry. Then prosecutors backed down.

at KIPP D.C. College Preparatory charter high school. Shortly past 4:30 p.m. on his last day alive, he and several schoolmates, including a teenager identified in court papers only as “A.C.,” were confronted by four young males in the 1300 block of Second Street NE, near the NoMa-Gallaudet Metro station, a short walk from the KIPP campus.

And whatever sentences the cousins get, subtract about 3½ years for the time they’ve been in jail since their arrests.Meanwhile, it is unclear whether detectives have positively identified the two other young males involved in the assault. Only the Hewitts have been charged in the case, a police spokesman said, and the investigation is considered closed.

Within days of the killing, the affidavit says, Demonte Hewitt posted Instagram messages reinforcing the street code against helping the police: “if you work for da fed boy u a snitch. #DontTellOnMe.” And, “you better hold your water bet not tell on me.” Questioned by police, Kurt Hewitt acknowledged being in the melee but said the other group had started it, according to the affidavit. He told detectives that he went to KIPP only to visit a friend. He denied seeing a knife or the stabbing or possessing a pistol. The affidavit does not recount any statement by Demonte Hewitt. The U.S. attorney’s office eventually obtained an indictment charging each with six felonies, including conspiracy to commit a violent crime and second-degree murder.
