On May 15, a DC Superior Court judge along with counsel set a new felony status conference date for a murder case.
Jerome Myles is charged with second-degree murder while armed for allegedly shooting Antonio Dixon on the 900 block of 5th Street, SE on Oct. 20, 2018. Myles, 20, is being held without bail at DC Jail. He is pending a grand jury hearing.
During the hearing, counsel told the judge that they agreed on scheduling another court date in the case to assess what direction the case was headed. Another felony status conference is scheduled to occur on June 10.
Defense attorney, Brandi Harden, also told Judge Todd Edelman that she was working with the prosecution to receive evidence in the case.
Harden said she planned to file a motion to reopen Myles’ preliminary hearing based on undisclosed issues in the case.
A trial date has not been set in the case.
According to court documents, Dixon, 19, was shot in the hallway of a building after what appeared to be a confrontation with the defendant. On Nov. 29, 2018, Myles was interviewed by detectives at the Metropolitan Police Department. A DNA test was conducted, and he was placed under arrest.
