During a felony status conference on Aug. 15, a judge ordered a murder defendant be released to authorities in Virginia.
Michael Anthony Grant, 34, is charged with second-degree murder for allegedly assaulting 33-year-old Lucas Alonzo Thomas on the 3100 block of Randle Place, SE on July 28.
During a felony status conference on Aug. 19, pre-trial services informed Judge Iscoe that Grant is currently in the DC Jail, and will be extradited to Virginia by Aug. 21.
Judge Iscoe also scheduled a felony status conference on Aug. 21 to be sure that Grant was in custody in Virginia and to discuss when he might be sent back to DC for hearings related to the murder.
Grant was successfully extradited to Virginia on Aug. 21, and a warrant was issued for his return to DC after his Virginia matter is resolved.
Grant has no scheduled court dates at this time.
