SALEM – Prosecutors in the case of a Lynn high school teenager charged with fatally stabbing Huy Le, 19, at the Pine Hill’s Gallagher Park last winter want the suspect to submit to a DNA sample to compare against evidence found by investigators.Assistant District Attorney Michael Sheehan said Tuesday morning in Salem Superior Court that he will be seeking to have Daryll Jones submit to the DNA sample, but defense lawyer John Andrews stated he would be opposing the procedure.Judge John T. Lu set down a hearing for Nov. 11 for the attorneys to argue their positions.Sheehan declined to further elaborate concerning the evidence the commonwealth has found in connection with the case.Jones, 17, of 11 Marianna St., Lynn, a junior at the Fecteau-Leary Junior/Senior High School, faces a charge of premeditated first-degree murder in connection with the fatal stabbing of Le on Feb. 12.He faces a mandatory life sentence in state prison if convicted.Le, 19, of Whiting Street, was found by police around 9:30 p.m. in the Pine Hill’s Gallagher Playground, near Ontario Street, following a 911 call.Few details have emerged concerning the case as to why Le may have been stabbed since the search warrant documents linking Jones to the incident were impounded in Lynn District Court in February and have remained impounded.Andrews, on Tuesday, filed another preliminary trial motion seeking to have the state turn over all statements given to the prosecution team by witnesses.He also wants access to all agreements made between any prospective witnesses and prosecutors.Those issues will also be addressed during the November hearing.Sheehan turned over affidavits for search warrants to Jones’ home at 11 Marianna St., as well as an affidavit in support of a search at 19 Daniels Place and a black Honda Civic. However, these documents are not for public viewing, only the attorneys involved in the case have access to these in order to build their case.Le was a 2009 Lynn English High graduate, attending North Shore Community College in the liberal arts program and was also working at McDonald’s on the Lynnway at the time of his death.Jones remains held without bail at the Middleton Jail following his arraignment.
