In a hearing before DC Superior Court Judge Sean Staples on Aug. 11, prosecutors indicated there may be additional charges pending against Duron Hudson.
Hudson, 23, is currently charged with assault with a dangerous weapon, unauthorized use of a vehicle, destruction of property over $1000, and first-degree theft, for his alleged involvement in an incident on the 1200 block of U Street, NW, on November 19, 2019, where, Nahzil Zaid Abdul Rahim, was found mortally injured.
According to court documents, Rahim was struck in the head by a brick before being run down by an SUV. Hudson is also accused of shooting at a witness to the attack.
During the proceeding both parties agreed there was no need for a separate hearing regarding physical evidence at this point. However, a prosecutor told the court that Hudson may be implicated in a separate 2019 homicide and robbery case. She indicated that there may be an arrest warrant in two weeks.
This was another turn in a complex case in which Hudson was held, then released, then the case against him was dismissed “for want of prosecution” in June. The case was reopened on June 28.
The next status hearing is set for Sept. 9
