A DC Superior Court judge denied May 7 a murder defendant’s release.

Jerome Alexander, 26, is charged with felony murder for his alleged involvement in the shooting of Richard Washington, 28, on the 3900 block of Minnesota Avenue, NE on Dec. 19, 2019.

Alexander filed a motion to amend his confinement on April 20. He requested to be put into the high intensity supervision program.

Alexander also received a new attorney on March 16 after he requested that Madalyn Harvey be replaced after claiming that she did not come to see him.

Alexander is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on June 18.
