On March 13, DC Superior Court Judge Anthony Epstein granted the prosecution’s motion to dismiss a case because the defendant will be tried in Federal Court.

Reginald English, 50, was charged with second-degree murder while armed for allegedly shooting Christine Chase, 48, on May 13, 2022, and another victim on the 1200 block of Raum Street, NE. 

During court Monday, the prosecutor stated a motion to dismiss the case due to English having federal charges. 

Judge Epstein accepted the motion and confirmed whether or not there was a federal arrest warrant for English.

According to court documents, English had a relationship with Chase and the two were together the night of her murder. 

The case is set to continue in federal court.
