On Nov. 17, homicide defendant Reginald Jones rejected a plea deal before DC Superior
Jones, 66, is charged with second-degree murder while armed for his alleged involvement in the stabbing death of Regina Morris, 52. The incident occurred on May 28 at the unit block of Potomac Avenue, SE. Morris was found in her apartment where she lived with Jones. The two were involved in a romantic relationship.
Prosecution offered Jones a pre-indictment plea, which would require him to plead guilty to second-degree murder while armed. If he accepted the plea, the prosecution would not go through with an indictment.
Jones rejected the deal and his case will be continued for a preliminary hearing.
The hearing is scheduled for Feb. 2, 2024.
