A murder trial previously set to take place in March 2023 was moved up one year. 

Marquette Jordan is charged with second-degree murder while armed for allegedly stabbing 48-year-old Ivan Lynch on April 30, 2018, on the 900 block of 5th Street, SE.

Jordan, 28, is also charged with robbery while armed, threat to kidnap or injure a person, assault with a dangerous weapon, carrying a weapon outside a home or business and simple assault in this case. 

The trial was originally set to begin on March 13, 2023. DC Superior Court Judge Danya Dayson rescheduled it to begin on March 23, 2022.

Parties will reconvene on Nov. 19 for a status hearing.
