During a hearing Jan. 30, a murder defendant waived his right to a formal reading of his indictment for his alleged role in homicide of a 48-year-old man.

Jerome Wilson is charged with felony murder while armed, robbery and two gun-related offenses for his alleged role in the death of Sean Anderson on the 2300 Block of Good Hope Road, SE on March 24, 2018.

Wilson, 36, pleaded not guilty.

A prosecutor, standing in on the case, said the assigned prosecutor plans to hand over discovery evidence soon.

D.C. Witness previously reported that a detective on the case said Wilson was the last person to see Anderson alive. Apparently, the men were in Anderson’s apartment smoking crack cocaine and watching pornography. A witness told police Anderson was armed with a revolver, which the detective said could have been the murder weapon.

Wilson is scheduled for a status hearing on March 15.
