During a status hearing Aug. 29, the prosecution told a judge that an indictment should be procured by November.
Alton Rivers , 54, is charged with second-degree murder while armed for his alleged role in the death of 68-year-old Anthony Anderson on the 3600 block of 14th Street, NW on July 27, 2018.
D.C. Witness previously reported that in May 2019, DC Superior Court Judge Todd Edelman gave the prosecution 7.5 months to indict Rivers.
Rivers previously pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in September of 2018, but withdrew the plea in March, saying he believed he acted in self-defense.
Rivers is scheduled for a status hearing on Nov. 15.
