Prosecutors alerted DC Superior Court Judge Jennifer Di Toro on Feb. 2 they were dismissing a jail stabbing case following the defendant’s plea acceptance in a homicide case.
Antoine Turner, 32, was charged with assault with a dangerous weapon for his alleged involvement in a stabbing of an inmate at the DC Jail on the 1900 block of D Street, SE, on Jan. 1, 2024.
According to court records, Turner was involved in an altercation with another inmate over pre-existing tensions. The victim survived the attack but sustained a stab wound to his neck.
Judge Di Toro dismissed Turner’s stabbing case entirely following his guilty plea in the Nov. 29, 2020 murder of Demeitri Anderson, 23, on the 4500 block of B Street, SE.
As part of the plea deal all charges connected to this latest incident were dropped.
There are no further dates scheduled.
