The man accused of fatally stabbing 52-year-old Andre Butler is scheduled to have a preliminary hearing on March 22.
Fredrick Lorenzo Nowlin, Jr., 35, was charged with second-degree murder while armed. The stabbing occurred on the 900 Block of Mount Olivet Road, NE. Butler was pronounced dead at a local hospital.
Assistant United States Attorney Damien Diggs requested the hearing be pushed to April 9, but Nowlin asserted his right to have a preliminary hearing within 14 days of being charged with the crime.
Diggs said that another prosecutor may be present at the hearing since he has other matters on his calendar.
