A new hearing in the civil case arising from Deon Kay’s 2020 killing by Metropolitan Police has been scheduled for January 20, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. EST in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia. This hearing comes as the D.C. Attorney General’s Office continues to challenge a $655,000 jury verdict, a verdict reached by District residents who found that accountability was warranted for Deon’s death.

Why This Hearing Matters
This hearing is not just about one family—it is about accountability, equity, and justice. A D.C. jury carefully reviewed the evidence and delivered a verdict affirming that Deon Kay’s life mattered. The District’s continued effort to overturn that verdict raises serious questions about whether jury decisions—and community voices—are being respected.
Call to the Community
Ford Law Pros encourages community members, advocates, and members of the press to attend the hearing and to remain afterward for a post-hearing press conference, where Attorney Yaida Ford and the legal team will discuss the proceedings and what is at stake moving forward.
Justice requires vigilance.
Transparency requires public attention.
And accountability requires all of us.
We hope to see you on January 20 at 10:00 a.m. EST.
In solidarity,
