A DC Superior Court judge continued an Oct. 27 felony status conference for a murder case.

Jacobi Williams, 35, is charged with first-degree murder while armed in the shooting of 38-year-old Phillip Roache on Sept. 17, 2020, on the 7000 block of Blair Road, NW.

The prosecution requested the continuance so they could have more time to work on indicting the case.

Judge Marisa Demeo scheduled parties to reconvene on Dec. 17.
