A DC Superior Court judge dismissed the case for one of three co-defendants charged with murder after ruling that there is not enough evidence to go to trial.
Lejeezan Toudle, 36, was charged with first-degree murder while armed in the death of Eugene Isaac Jr., who was fatally shot Feb. 15 on the 100 block of N Street, NW.
He had been charged alongside two co-defendants: Elton Wiggins, 54, and Devon Stephens, 34.
Toudle was charged under the felony murder rule. He was accused of killing Isaac while perpetrating or attempting to perpetrate the crime of robbery, according to court documents.
Back in August, Judge Danya Dayson found that the case against the three defendants had enough evidence to go to trial.
Toudle’s defense filed a motion for reconsideration.
During the hearing, the judge ruled that the case against Toudle did not have probable cause. It is now dismissed. The other two defendants’ cases remain open.
