A DC Superior Court judge did not hold a preliminary hearing for three murder defendants.
The co-defendants, Lejeezan Toudle, 36, Elton Wiggins, 54, and Devon Stephens, 34, are charged with first-degree murder in the death of 34-year-old Eugene Isaac Jr., who was fatally shot on the 100 block of N Street, NW on Feb. 15.
The preliminary hearing, which would determine if the case has enough evidence to go to trial, was scheduled take place Aug. 6. However, two of the three defendants have refused to be tested for COVID-19.
Judge Danya Dayson said all defendants must undergo testing before they can be scheduled for a preliminary hearing, which is now scheduled for Aug. 13.
