A judge agreed July 26 to reschedule a preliminary hearing to Aug. 21 after a witness was unable to make it to court.
Demetrius Void is charged with first-degree murder while armed for his alleged role in the death of 24-year-old Anthony Daniel Lawson on the 6200 Block of Eastern Avenue, NE in Sept. 2018.
During the hearing, the prosecution said a witness, who was a detective on the case, had an emergency and had to leave the district.
Defense counsel agreed to reschedule the hearing as long as the prosecution agreed to not indictment Void, 32, until the newly rescheduled date.
There were no objections from the prosecution.
