On Oct. 31, a murder defendant’s preliminary hearing was continued.
Phillip Peoples is charged with second-degree murder for the hit and run of 67-year-old Thomas Hollowell. Hollowell was riding his bike when Peoples, 20, allegedly struck and killed him on the 1200 block of Constitution Avenue, NW.
Even though the status of the case is unclear, the defense said the prosecution “would be giving [Peoples] an offer he couldn’t refuse.”
A status hearing is scheduled on Nov. 7.
