On Jan. 25, a DC Superior Court judge scheduled a preliminary hearing to determine if a murder case has enough evidence to go to trial.

Kenneth Stewart, 59, is charged with first-degree murder while armed in the fatal stabbing of 54-year-old Courtney Jones on July 23, 2020, on the 2300 block of Pennsylvania Avenue, SE.

The preliminary hearing is scheduled for March 29.
