DC Superior Court Judge Errol Arthur granted the prosecution’s request for a continuance in a non-fatal stabbing case, citing a need to further investigate the defendant and the crime, on July 24.

Victoria Langley, 53, is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon for her alleged involvement in a non-fatal stabbing that left one person injured. The incident occurred on Oct. 11, 2023 on the 1900 block of Minnesota Avenue, SE. 

According to court documents, Langley got into an argument with one of the victims accusing her of taking her cell phone. That led to Langley’s allegedly stabbing one of the victims multiple times, before fleeing the scene on foot. 

At the hearing, the prosecution requested a 45-day continuance, which would allow for further investigation of Langley’s case.

Parties are slated to reconvene on Sept. 6.
