A murder defendant’s Nov. 13 hearing was rescheduled.
Collin Potter is charged with kidnapping, first-degree sex abuse while armed and felony murder while armed.
He is accused of stabbing 36-year-old Vongell Lugo on Jan. 6, 2019, on the 2800 block of Wisconsin Avenue, NW.
The next day after the homicide, the 28 year-old defendant was charged with second-degree murder while armed during his initial hearing. He was indicted on his current charges the following August.
According to court documents, Potter told the police that he remembered performing oral sex on a male and later saw blood on his person. He told the police that the blood was not his own, nor did he know how the blood got on him.
Potter’s next hearing date is now set for Nov. 19. In the meantime, he will remain held at DC Jail.
