1Opinion of the Court
RUIZ, Associate Judge.
Edward Evans was convicted in a jury trial of first-degree murder while' armed, possession of a firearm during a violent crime, and carrying a pistol without a license. Evans appeals, claiming that his conviction should be reversed because (1) the prosecution’s peremptory strikes against young jurors violated the District of Columbia Human Rights Act 1 (“DCHRA”), and (2) the trial court erred in finding that the prosecution’s peremptory strikes were not racially motivated, in violation of Batson v. Kentucky, 476 U.S. 79, 106 S.Ct. 1712, 90 L.Ed.2d 69 (1986). We affirm.
