DC Superior Court Judge Erik Christian issued a bench warrant on Oct. 29 for a stabbing defendant who has been lost to contact since August.
Gregory Edmonds, 34, is charged with two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon, aggravated assault knowingly while armed, and assault with significant bodily injury. The charges stem from his alleged involvement in the stabbing of his father on July 4, 2023 on the 2600 block of Martin Luther King Avenue, SE. One individual sustained injuries to his abdomen and torso.
According to court documents, Edmonds’ actions took place inside their apartment. His father told the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) that Edmonds’ had attacked him with a pair of scissors while accusing him of trying to kill him.
During the hearing, a representative from the Pretrial Services Agency (PSA) alerted the court of the submission of a violation report. According to the report, Edmonds has not been seen or reachable since Aug. 21 and has been avoiding law enforcement.
Lauren Morehouse, Edmonds’ attorney, stated that she had no representations of his whereabouts.
Judge Christian issued a bench warrant for Edmonds with no bail.
Parties are slated to reconvene Feb. 6, 2025.
